Living with friction: oil, wheels and grip, sentence 11
Two books with their pages interleaved (slid in between each other, one by one) are almost impossible to pull apart, because the small grips of hundreds of pages add up.
Who acts: Two books, small grips, books · What happens: interleave, slide, be, pull apart, add up, page · To what, where: pages, each, hundreds
