Extract:

"Anyone as technologically backward and conceptually nostalgic as myself is likely to be scared about the survival of libraries as we know (or knew) them. My father’s library in the house in southern England where I grew up was an awe-inspiring place to a child: quiet, filled with the fragrance of pipe smoke, one huge and comfortable armchair in the middle of the room, a foot stool, a standing lamp, and floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with books arranged by my father’s personal (and to me impenetrable) system. "
