Meanwhile, I loved this observation:

“Books have a secret mission and ability to multiply, as everyone who has wall-to-wall bookshelves knows well.”

It reminded me of reading once that books are a successful life-form because they replicate themselves so much. Coincidentally, the New Republic has this article on the way book publishing is not only surviving digital disruption but thriving. The healthy state of innovation in publishing is something I’ve written about before.
