The era of the printed book is at a crossroad. E-readers are
flooding the market, books are available to read on cell phones,
and companies such as Google, Amazon, and Apple are competing to
command near monopolistic positions as sellers and dispensers of
digital information. Already, more books have been scanned and
digitized than were housed in the great library in Alexandria. Is
the printed book resilient enough to survive the digital
revolution, or will it become obsolete? In this lasting collection
of essays, Robert Darnton,an intellectual pioneer in the field of
this history of the book,lends unique authority to the life, role,
and legacy of the book in society.
