There was a remarkable new museum connected to books that we posted about not long back. Now, an exhibition in one of the world’s great libraries answering the question (so to speak): do books matter? You still have more than one month to catch it in person (but if you cannot catch it in person take half an hour with this podcast about the exhibition). Click the banner above to go to the exhibit’s website, which notes:
Books That Shaped America
June 25–September 29, 2012
