My daughter-in-law surprised me, because she was making hardcopies of all the digital pictures they had of my granddaughter. As a backup. thought that was cute, with the younger generation going backwards, so it seems :-). Or forward...?
Maybe both. I love having digital books available, and being able to carry them around compactly to read wherever I am. But I want hard copies of my favorites. It’s just natural for people to want to be able to hold their treasures in their hands.
My husband especially loves how nice old books look, feel, smell, the texture of the pages as you turn them...
We seriously need to divest ourselves of about half of our library; that’s going to be a hard row to hoe.
