ISBN10: 0375504443, ISBN13: 9780375504440, [publisher: New York: Random House] Hardcover First Edition Baker, Nicholson. Double fold: libraries and the assault on paper. First edition. New York: Random House, 2001. Hardback, near fine, in unclipped dustjacket. Two-tone black covers with gilt lettering to spine. Author's initials blind embossed to front. Binding strong and tight. xii, 370pp., colour plates. Contents clean and bright. It is a blistering, and thoroughly idiosyncratic, exposé of how libraries are destroying our historical records in order to ''save'' them. He makes the case that the Library of Congress and other great libraries have deceived us into believing that books and newspapers printed after 1870 are, because they were printed on paper with a high acid content, turning to dust. Thus, largely to save space, libraries have jettisoned their collections of bound newspapers and so-called brittle books and replaced them with (often unreadable) microfilm. Written the brilliant narrative style that Nicholson Baker fans have come to expect, Double Fold is a persuasive and often devastating book that may turn out to be The Jungle of the American library system.

ISBN10: 0375504443, ISBN13: 9780375504440, [publisher: Random House] Hardcover Since the 1950s, our country?s greatest libraries have, as a matter of common practice, dismantled their collections of original bound newspapers and so-called brittle books, replacing them with microfilmed copies. The marketing of the brittle-paper crisis and the real motives behind it are the subject of this passionately argued book, in which Nicholson Barker pleads the case for saving our recorded heritage in its original form while telling the story of how and why our greatest research libraries betrayed the public trust by auctioning off or pulping irreplaceable collections. The players include the Library of Congress, the CIA, NASA, microfilm lobbyists, newspaper dealers, and a colorful array of librarians and digital futurists, as well as Baker himself ? who eventually discovers that the only way to save one important newspaper is to buy it. Double Fold is an intense, brilliantly worded narrative that is sure to provoke discussion and controversy.
