Book Hunter Press hits Playboy magazine
In this letter to the Editor:
Paulo Coelho may be giving away all but 400 of his books so they won’t “remain immobilized on a shelf ” ("Dust in the Wind", December), but a computer search will never replace the thrill of finding a long out-of-print volume in a used bookstore and taking it home to add to your library. There are readers and there are collectors. As collectors we may not sit down with a particular find for months, but we always know it’s there when we’re ready. There’s nothing like holding a book in your hands. Also, millions of books have not been digitized—and may never be because so few people want to read them. But what if you’re one of those few?
