Research: Judging books by their covers: An examination of books as auratic objects in a digital era
Abstract: Books as we know them now will shortly become obsolete for many purposes. This is a problem for all those who love the physical form of the book. The only way books will continue to survive in anything like their current form will be as luxury objects, similar to art. It is the myth of the book that will perpetuate its continued existence, albeit in a different way to what we know now.
