What kind of book did Tommy show to Margie

Hint: It was a very old book. This excerpt is taken from the English Beehive Chapter 1 ‘The Fun They Had’. The focus of the question here is about the book which Tommy shows to Margie.

Complete answer:
Margie is eleven and Tommy is thirteen years old. Margie wrote in her diary. “Today, 17 May, 2157, Tommy found a real book.” Margie found some things about the book to be strange. The book had yellow and wrinkled pages. The words of the book were still. They did not move as the words moved on the computer screen. She found these things strange.

The book that Tommy showed to Margie was an old, real book that belonged to his grandfather’s. It had crinkly yellow pages, where all the stories were printed on paper and the words stood still.

Note: Margie finds the book to be very strange and she even mentions it in her diary that she has found a real book. There are multiple reasons for this. First, she has never seen a still book, the words in the book aren't moving like in the computer. Everything is very still.
