    I love books, too. My whole adult life - till I got "sick and disabled" -
I have worked with books in one form or another (library assistant, music
library technician, music library archivist, bookstore clerk &, later, assistant
manager, independent freelance bookseller/buyer/trader, semi-professional rare
book thief, etc.)

    As a former archivist, I do think I know what I am talking about ;)
Sometimes the only way to actually save some crucial endangered manuscripts
and such for future generations is to use HiTech means like storing them on
computerized multimedia (till some better media than CD-ROM comes along)...
