The death of the book was being confidently predicted when I was a Master's
student in 1996. Oddly I still have the problem of bursting library shelves
and insatiable demand for print books even in so 'electronic' a field as
medicine. My local Borders bookshop is packed every time I enter, and my
home is awash with books, most of which belong to my partner, an academic in
Classics who is also an insatiable online user (including for buying books).
And the paperless office? I wish.
