Prior to reading this book I had not considered the impact of the environment in which books were kept. Growing up in the 20th century I had always taken for granted stable internal home temperatures regardless of the outside weather, protection against insects, and other dangers that the 19th century had not developed defenses we take for granted today. The book is worth reading solely from the perspective of understanding how fragile the repositories of our knowledge have been over the past thousands of years, and the unknown dangers, so called unknown unknowns that the digitization of books book might create.
