摘要

Sir - Your essay on the future of the book was timely and wise (Octoberuth). However, while the scroll did overlap with the bound codex, it began to go out of fashion around the time of Julius Caesar, and with good reason. The codex is a far more convenient form of book. It can be flipped through quickly and put down on a table alongside other books for comparison. When using digital texts we are faced once again with having to scroll through texts, one at a time, relying on our memories to keep in mind references to other lines or words. The inconvenience is not often remarked on in discussions of the digital universe. No one denies the marvel of digital texts, but libraries are forgetting the usefulness of, and the need for, bound books in codex form. This is leading to the wholesale diminution around the world of libraries that care for bound books and make them available for readers, an extraordinarily shortsighted policy.
