“Some day, as soon as a book is printed it will be simultaneously put into digital form. That will be a wonderful research tool, but it will never substitute for holding the book. I feel certain that at least within my lifetime, everyone will still be going to the bookstore and buying printed books. Thank God I'll die before I have to worry about whether the printed book itself will disappear. That's something I don't want to live to see.” WantFeelsStillsBookFormCertainDiesWorryWonderfulResearchToolsLifetimeDisappearBuyingDigitalSubstitutesThank GodPrintedBookstoresPrinted Books Author:Anne Fadiman
“When I visit a new bookstore, I demand cleanliness, computer monitors, and rigorous alphabetization. When I visit a secondhand bookstore, I prefer indifferent housekeeping, sleeping cats, and sufficient organizational chaos.” SleepDemandComputerCatChaosSufficientIndifferentBookstoresCleanlinessOrganizationalHousekeeping Author:Anne Fadiman
