The devilish "Book of Sand". Can you hold in your hands a book that is finite in dimensions but infinite in pages? Jorge Luis Borges, the professor of Literature at the University of Buenos Aires, writer and director librarian of the national Public Library of Buenos Aires, Argentina, had a strange and terrible book in his hands.
What would you think of a book that is impossible to bookmark? What would you think of that book if it were also impossible to find its first page? What if it has no last page, but despite all this, you can hold it in your hands?
This is exactly the Book of Sand, the book with random numbering, random illustrations, and infinite pages.
