What is it about a handwritten book that intrigues us?

It holds mystery only to be discovered by reading the age stained pages. But in the writing of the words that describe an experience, it comes to life in the perspective of the writer, and in the vision that is colored by life lived. It is our privilege to have a glimpse into an entire setting of experience that is not our own, but may resonate with our own, and may enrich our own perspective, or even make us feel aware and grateful that we have lived and seen some meaningful times in our own lives.
