I love books, have absolutely nothing against them. As for runic carvings, they might be around but there aren't a lot of new ones being made, same goes for scrolls.
I am also aware that there is a nieche for records, but lets face it, hit lists aren't based on how many records were sold that last month, now it is all about downloads. That is what I predict for books, no matter how much you and I might dislike those changes.
