Since then much water has flowed. Books became part of my work; I went to my father's footsteps. How many books have passed through my hands? It is impossible to calculate even approximately. The familiar books with the flashed spine began to be sold less often over time. But publications with glued unit began to appear more often. There was a problem breaking book blocks. The glued spine cracked at the most unexpected and inopportune moment, the pages were scattering. The profession of repairman of soft roots appeared along this problem. Now very few people remember that there were masters of this case. Printers made more and more literature books, they became cheaper and the sense of their reparation disappeared. It's amazing how quickly the book could evolve from luxury handmade, store of wisdom to a paper brick, often containing questionable information. So e-book reader replacement is quite a natural phenomenon. Bookcases come to seem cumbersome fragment of the past centuries, like music machine in a cafe or something of like this. Now the paper book is not needed. Though there are a lot of people who have great interest to the literature. And I'm not the only who is saying this. In any case, it seems that a lot of people think so. However, the future is unpredictable. Let's see, maybe, shelves full of books will serve us. Librarians who got allergy to the old paper dust and printer-men who have allergy to printing pigment should not lost their interest to the literature. Writers will order their works in printed kind. Artists will illustrate new books to make us pleasure.
