This may not be the place to express this opinion, but the "book" as in the story/ideas
contained and disseminated by all the physical books can no longer be destroyed, a la
"Fahrenheit 451" or a Nazi book burning. They need not even be kept from readers by
a publishing house's view of what's marketable. The loss of some paper, cardboard and
fake leather should no more cause the intellectual angst, displayed in this thread.
Another reason to keep the internet free.
Luck;
Ken
