Into the book
The books are twins.
Because they are twins, their appearance and content are exactly the same.
To tell the two books apart, just throw them into the sky like paper airplanes.
When thrown, the one that spreads the pages to both sides and flaps its wings is the older sister, and the one that shouts "Hey!" is the younger sister.
---From "The First Night"
I had a lot of fun making that book.
I felt so good whenever my mom praised the drawings I drew.
Now, perhaps the reason I'm making a living writing books is because I want to feel that feeling again.
---From "The Fourth Night"
The book remembers the small, delicate hands of its long-ago owner, who held it dear and turned its pages.
And I remember the owner's big, warm hand as he turned the pages, holding me in one hand.
The other books were shiny and shiny, but this one was worn and tattered.
But the book made me very happy.
The book contains another story, different from the one written in the book.
---From "The Fifth Night"
There may be as many books in the world as there are stars, filled with feelings for someone, yet never reached.
We have continued to put letters in glass bottles and float them on the sea by relying on books.
Believing in a small, yet faintly existing possibility.

Publisher's Review
The newest and most original book for 'books'.
A book with an unusual appearance and a unique title has been published.
This is "That Book", written by Shinsuke Yoshitake, who has already become a world-renowned picture book author, and Naoki Matayoshi, a popular Japanese comedian and winner of the Akutagawa Prize.
The cover has an old-fashioned feel to it, the title leaves no clue as to what the content will be, and the subtitle, "A Story About Books That Continues for 13 Days," which is reminiscent of "Arabian Nights," exude a strange charm along with Shinsuke's illustrations.
The phrase located in the center of the book also catches the eye.
“The two went on a trip.
“In search of the world’s most precious ‘book’.”
"That Book" is a story of 52 rare books told to a book-loving king by two people over 13 days.
This is a mysterious and new type of book that begins with a familiar fable, followed by a journey of two people with no end in sight, and a surprising story about a book told by people they meet along the way.
This could be called a 'book for books', created by two writers who are recognized for their talents in their respective fields.
In this book, author Shinsuke Yoshitake captures the hearts of readers with his unique illustrations, humor, and fresh perspective on the world.
A request from a sick king who loves books
The story begins like this.
When the king, who loved books, grew old and could no longer read, he called two men and ordered them to 'travel around the world and hear stories about rare books.'
I hope you collect those stories and tell them to yourself.
The two men receive travel expenses from the king and set off on their journey, returning to the king a year later.
The two people representing the author of "That Book" take turns telling the king the rare stories they have heard.
So, for 13 days, the story of the book unfolds every night.
The story of 'that book' told by the two authors is sometimes short and sometimes long.
The 52 colorfully unfolding stories evoke a variety of emotions in readers, each as diverse as the content.
Some stories are bland, others make you laugh, and others give you a strange sense of nostalgia, as if you've returned to your childhood.
There are many different stories, such as those that remind you of the books that comforted you in lonely moments, those that make you miss someone you miss even more, those that touch your heart, and those that turn you into a philosopher who ponders what a book is.
It's amazing how one book can evoke so many different emotions.
In particular, the last part of 『That Book』 presents a pleasant twist that no one expected, making the aftertaste of reading the book linger longer.
The charm of two authors in one book
Another great attraction of this book is that you can simultaneously read the writing and illustrations of Shinsuke Yoshitake and the writing of Naoki Matayoshi, who also has a background as a comedian.
The stories written by the two authors alternately bounce back and forth like ping-pong balls, exuding each author's unique charm while not blending, creating a strange sense of tension.
But as the story progresses, the charms of the two authors naturally balance each other out, captivating readers' hearts with their light yet heavy, sharp yet funny, satirical yet touching.
The series of unconventional stories never gives readers a moment to get bored while reading, and even makes them feel excited every time they turn the page.
"I want to write anything! I want to tell my story!" "That Book" inspires a desire to become a writer, not just a reader, and makes you rediscover "that book" you'd forgotten about.
This unique and delightful book is a "book for all the books in the world," a "friend" who hopes to reach and be read by everyone, offering a special book journey for both adults and children.
