Dr. Faber asks, “Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean?” (Bradbury 79) Explain what he means by quality and why some books possess it.

Faber means that books have a life all their own.

Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more `literary' you are.
