Dr Kelps Quote of the Day

“I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.”


Isaac Asimov

Asimov was not just a science fiction writer, either. He holds the distinction of being the only author so far to have at least one work in every possibly category of the Dewey decimal system (http://faceintheblue.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/notable-quotes-on-reading/)


The fact about the Dewey system is new to me. That is a mighty accomplishment and augurs well for Asimov's immortality (or the next 1000 yrs perhaps).

New Book Covers

I have noticed that several books I have purchased recently have a new kind of plastic cover/book ends. They retain the flexibility of a paperback but combine it with the durability of a hardback, without the bulk or weight. The cover is easily cleaned. I love it, especially as one of the books is a compilation of 100 Favorite Poems selected by New Zealanders that I am likely to dip into for years to come. Isn't technology great.... Grant
