Thread Name: Why we love Books on Paper in Libraries
Subject: RE: Why we love Books on Paper in Libraries
True, Pete. As I get older, I've noticed I get grumpy at errors I find in books. A volume about Tudor England stated that records of Births, Deaths and Marriages can be sourced in Parish Churches. I had to stop myself scribbling angrily that it's only Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals that are recorded in this way! I'm afraid I've got so grumpy that I sometimes 'mark' the Daily Mail with a red pen. (I know, I know, totally bonkers, but after several decades as a teacher it's in my blood!)
