The joy of books
Thanks to William Caxton we have had “love affair” with books since the mid 1450’s. Kindle and e-books are becoming more and more popular but will Caxton’s legacy finally be consigned to the funeral pyre? “People never really stop loving books. 51st century. By now you’ve got holovids, direct-to-brain downloads, fiction mist. But you need the smell. The smell of books”. (“Silence in the Library“ (8th episode, 4th series, “Dr Who”).
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
