ISBN10: 0060082879, ISBN13: 9780060082871, [publisher: Harpercollins, New York] Hardcover First Edition Brown paper-covered boards with black backstrip and gilt lettering. Appears unread. Text is clean and white, no marks. Unclipped DJ with $29.95 price shows a hint of rubbing to edges. "A consideration of the many pressing issues that surround the role of books in contemporary society, such as the willful distruction of books and ibraries in Sarajevo, Tibet and Cambodia, and the spirited efforts to restore them. The matter of "discards" at various libraries takes on and entirely new dimension as well, with fully researched sotires about the kind of attitudes that may lead to the loss of "last copies" of important works. In vivid detail are examined the many materials that have been used over the centuries to record information, among them clay tablets, papyrus scrolls, slabs of stone, palm leaves, animals skins, and hammer sheets of gold and copper. Also discussed are the various debates that continue to rage about preservation, which may mean saving and storing books on paper indefinitely, or as electronic data, which are by nature ephemeral."
