It ain't the book, it's the shelving...
Interesting essay over at sshhh This is a Working Library:
http://aworkinglibrary.com/library/a...n_the_library/ "The promise of ebooks (or, one promise, anyway), is their inherent connectedness. On a whim or the turn of a phrase, I can leap from Shakespeare to Soyinka, finding similarities that didn’t exist before, or else existed but were yet unknown. In exchange for the loss of continuity, I gain a new space for metaphors: no longer within the texts, but between them." |
