If you're actually able to handle the manuscript, you have a kind of contact with the author that you otherwise wouldn't get. At the risk of sounding too obscure, the most advanced physics teaches us that the moment you come into contact with something, it is part of you and you are part of it forever.Jim Irsay, owner of the legendary original manuscript of Jack Kerouac's On the Road as well as (it's always mentioned) some ball team or other, is planning to exhibit the scroll at various libraries and schools around the country including Boulder's Naropa University.
