Dear reader
Is it still necessary to print a book? Is it an anachronism to nowadays read print at all?
In the present era, the electronic equivalent of entire libraries of information is routinely distributed via the internet. This has led some to question the future relevance of print. However, it is our conviction that books still have their place in the world, and it is not merely because books preserve the information of generations with a security that electronic media cannot match.
