The Case for Books by Robert Darnton
The era of the book as the unrivalled source and vehicle for knowledge is coming to an end. Digitization makes the physical properties of books disposable. This book assembles the writings the author has done on this subject for a range of publications. It is suitable for those who write, publish, study, or simply read them.
Robert Darnton is Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and director of the Harvard University Library. A Harvard graduate and former Oxford University Rhodes Scholar he worked as a New York Times reporter before joining the History Faculty at Princeton University. Darnton is the author of many books, including The Great Cat Massacre (9780394729275, Vintage) and a regular contribution to publications including the New York Review of Books..
