Title: Nitpickers be damned!
Product review: Okay, so maybe this is not the perfect title for this book. Books (and now electronic devices) have for centuries been the prime method of information storage and retrieval, so I don't have any patience for the quibbling. (Often when someone has nothing to say, they resort to cavil, that is, raising trivial and frivolous objection.)This book is an amazing read. The content and style are both fantastic. Anyone who considers themselves a book-lover (and I'm assuming there are many reading this) must read this book. The author walks you through the entire history of knowledge accumulation, focussing on encyclopedias. He DOES include electronic formats when they occur in this history.I'm still a little beguiled that the other reviewers could miss the point so completely. It's as if they were to meet Da Vinci and refuse to speak with him because his name tag was wrong!That's my two cents, thank you!
