You don't even keep paperback books shelved. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 10/05/2013 07:59:49 AM

My point was that books will continue as an artform (e.g. the Pléiade), rather than as a medium (Tor). Genre fiction will rapidly become digitized; people who want nice books on their shelves aren't going to be lining their walls with Jordan and Sanderson.

Just donate them to your library and get an ereader. The format is rapidly approaching obsolescence. Ghavrel - 09/05/2013 08:22:56 AM 1073 Views
