Whats interesting is the choice of context for the book : a large wearhouse. It contradicts the whimsical nature of the book. I am curious to know why they thought that was a good thing. It certainly reinforces the unusual existence of the giant book in an obvious reality. But it doesnt really add anything to content of the book, like extending the story outside the borders in a clever way. For instance, this could have been outside in a park or on a hill top for the public to gaze at.
