There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have observed them carrying out their functions: they are always exhausted. They speak of a staircase without steps where they were almost killed. They speak of galleries and stairs with the local Librarian. From time to time they will pick up the nearest book and leaf through its pages, in search of the famous words. Obviously, no one expects to discover anything.
I repeat: it is enough that a book be possible for it to exist. Only the impossible is excluded. For example: no book is also a stairway, though doubtless there are books that discuss and deny and demonstrate this possiblity and others whose structure corresponds to that of a stairway.
