Well, Coke was never about the glass bottle, it was/is about the content, but getting coke in a small glass bottle (preferably with a top that requires an opener, if you can still find such a thing, is a visceral, nostalgic experience that, to me, makes for a better drink (even aside from the actual taste improvement over drinking from aluminum or plastic).
Same for pulp novels (I guess, for some). The very NAME 'pulp' refers to the paperback medium, so it was ALWAYS an element. And pulp or hard back velum, it's not like it's the first time we've heard on this forum of some folks liking the sensuousness of DTBs.
