1. The e-book is probably one of the biggest inventions in the history of books.
2. Probably the e-book is not a book.
“For now, we use the word ‘book’ broadly, even metaphorically, to talk about what has come before - and what might come next.”

Never Odd or Even
Project Projects, 2011
“This mini-exhibition in book form was conceived as part of the exhibition, “We would provide complete darkness,” curated by Sarah Demeuse at the Goethe-Institute Wyoming Building, New York. The book’s content focuses on libraries and the organization of knowledge, with personal and associative contributions by Alejandro Cesarco, Sarah Hromack, Angie Keefer, Christoph Keller, Adam Kleinman, E.R. Langen, and Jorge Méndez Blake. The publication takes an unusual form: a saddle-stitched booklet with an exaggerated “stealth spine.” Inserted among other books on a shelf, as was installed in the exhibition and in the Goethe-Institute library stacks, the booklet supercedes the spines of its neighboring titles and allows for an expanded visual presence.”
“This exhibition coincides with the launch of Never Odd Or Even, a mini-exhibition in book form about the organization of knowledge, featuring personal and associative contributions by Alejandro Cesarco, Sarah Hromack, Angie Keefer, Christoph Keller, Adam Kleinman, E.R. Langen, and Jorge Méndez Blake. As metaphor for enlightened understanding, light implies a sense of order and infinity and thus suggests a host of current questions about the management and use of stored knowledge. At the Wyoming Building, a library of underused books, on their way to dispersion and de-acquisition, houses this curated publication. At the Goethe-Institut’s library stacks on Spring Street, it will gradually trace the patterns of use. This object was designed by Project Projects.”
