Dear Mr. Russel: As you might have suspected, I found your review most agreeable! Not that I am an anti-book person, or an anti-lineal thinker. If I have any normal and natural preferences, they are for the values of the literate world. In so far as print bias renders us helpless and ineffectual in the new electronic age, I am strongly inclined to cultivate the kinds of perception that are relevant to our state.
