BOOK LOVERS
BOOK LOVERS
“It’s all gone digital!
“No it hasn’t!”
There are still those
Who caress old books
And treasure the printed word
Revelling in the texture
And the typeface.
Devotees of the beloved tome
Revere lofty libraries
Browse pre-loved bookshops
Delight in the treasures
Unearthed in neglected studies
Savouring the musty air
And breathing deep the dust.
Clear, bright screens
With readable fonts
And ease of storage
Do have their place.
But the true follower
Still seeks after
Tangible covers
Beguiling print
Well- thumbed pages
Volumes with heart.
