Books, purchasable at low cost, permit us to interrogate the past with high accuracy; to tap the wisdom of our species; to understand the point of view of others, and not just those in power; to contemplate
with the best teachers

Books are key to understanding the world and participating in a democratic society. — Carl Sagan
