Books are moving into motel and hotel rooms, where a year ago one could find only a single title in a black binding. There are guidebooks to used bookshops, and a few imaginative independent booksellers thrive in the shadow of ever-increasing numbers of superstores. Those who say the book is moribund often cite the computer as the asp on the mat. Nobody is going to sit down and read a novel on a twitchy little screen. Books give esthetic and tactile pleasure, from the dust jacket art to the binding, paper, typography and text design, from the moment of purchase until the last page is turned.
Books speak even when they stand unopened on the shelf.
