I quite disagree. I have a field guide that I use for identifiying flowers in my neighborhood and I have them in electronic form only. I find that my blackberry is much more portable then any field guide and is much better at rendering the photos of the flowers that I see then the dead wood book is. In addition my purchase of the field guide includes updates and future editions, not something the dead wood would offer. Coffee table books, don't see the need. Photo albums, I have a digital photo frame.
Don't really see the need for printed or dead wood books in modern society. Personal opinion - we as a society are far to anchored in the past, cut ties with the past and full speed to the 22nd century warp factor 4.
