Don't ever kid yourself, there is nothing like having the 'Real Thing', on the shelf and
the the 'other', for study. I collect many old books about my city (Toronto, Canada)
and wish that I had two of each; preservation of the original is of prime import.
Lithoprints, engravings, etc, hang on a wall behind a glass protective, books are always 'open',
to abuse of one kind or another.
