"Electronic communication travels ahead of you, books travel with you and at your speed, but if you are shipwrecked on a desert island, a book can be useful, while a computer cannot -- as Landow remarks, electronic texts need a reading station and a decoding device. Books are still the best companions for a shipwreck, or for the Day After.
Books will remain indispensable not only for literature, but for any circumstance in which one needs to read carefully, not only to receive information but also to speculate and to reflect about it."
(Umberto Eco - The Future of the Book)

One hopes that despite the advances in media presentation formats, the good ole book will never die! Something about turning a page in a great book that can not be replaced. Fine shot.

There's nothing like the magic of a book... The word, the warmth, the feeling, the smell of printed paper, the way it lives and gets older and older, but beautiful still... Thank you so much!

"A room without books is like a body without a soul" - Cicero Obviously the book is alive and well at this book fair, that is comforting in itself. Excellent shot!
