Double Fold Libraries and the Assault on Paper Baker, Nicholson Publisher:  Random House, USA Year Published:  2001   Pages:  370pp   Price:  $25.95   Resource Type:  Book Double Fold examines the preservation of books in United States libraries over the past 50 years. It details the libraries "war" on books -- the alarming lack of preservation and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of irreplacable bound originals including 19th-century illustrated dailies. He chronicles the attempts to find ways of preserving books from both the ravages of time and the librairies' lack of shelf space. He also explains how librairies use the spectre of disintegrating books as part of their fundraising stategy. Baker offers aternative solutions to these problems. His ultimate and pesuasive plea is for librairies to stop "executing" the originals.
