Espen Andersen writes, "After buying 'Little Brother', I discovered that a page was torn out. Rather than exchange it, I just printed out the missing page from Cory's webpage."

   I had not considered the historicity of books as an element setting them apart, although once you said it, it seems obvious.

   Another element that now seems apparent is a book's technology is stable. Recordings on media other than paper, clay, or stone seem to have a short half-life. Four track car stereos are gone. Similarly, beta-max movies are no longer generally viewable.

   With care that hard cover book you own can be read by many generations of your family. That makes ownership of quality books a long term investment.
