Reseñas
El Oct 21 2010, Old Saratoga Books dijo:
An entertaining National Book Circle Award winning book about how libraries jettisoned their newspaper collections in the name of preservation (they got crappy-quality, but space-saving microform copies made up instead).There are so many great insights into the bizarro world at the Library of Congress and I'm afraid used booksellers don't get a lot of good words either. But his writing is wonderful and opinionated and I'm learning a lot about the printed word.
