Why REAL BOOKS should be kept alive!!
HEAD AND HEART REASONS
HEAD
To stop the world turning into electronic robots
Not having to look at computer screens day and night, less straining on eyes
Electronic versions are hard and cold
No power needed to read real books
Ability to read real books anywhere - bath, beach, around children.....
If you drop and damage an electronic version you loose everything
Being able to loan real books to friends without the worrying about damage
More electronic waste when new upgrades come out which in turn means more damaging components to the land
The cost of electronic versions
Fashionable accessories now available for real books
To stop real books becoming a distant memory from the past
HEART
The sheer beauty of full bookshelves or bookcases in rooms
Beautiful book cover designs and being proud of owning something so desirable
The unique history old books hold themselves
The touch, the feel, the smell - Lets face it - Sat curled up in front of the fire with a good computerised screen - just doesnt have the same ring to it, does it?
There’s nothing so real as to turn a page with your fingers
Conversations created when you notice books on your friends shelves that you have also read
The joy of looking round summer fetes, carboots for that special book
The mission of finding really rare books and succeeding, the feeling is tremendous
The hobby as a book collector
TWO QUOTES THAT SAY IT ALL........
A room without books, is like a heart without a soul.
Books are the quietestand most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest ofcounsellors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot
