Let us have a moment of silence for a dear friend.
He was with us for a long time. Always there, always willing to share his vast knowledge of the world with those willing to listen. One could even say that he was essential to the course of history. But every great thing must come to an end. No one, not even some one as influential as our friend is safe from the progress of time. And it seems our society is ready to move on to the digital age, where The Book has no place.
Do not cry because its over, smile because it happened. We all have great memories with him. He made us laugh, made us cry and was able to help make a bad day better. He will always be in our hearts (and also our bookshelves).
