Favorite book? Please let us know

What we call a “book” today is not so different from what Gutenberg published on the first printing press almost 600 years ago. But are books as a form of communication and entertainment approaching the end of their shelf life, to be replaced by digital versions?

We’ll examine that question March 4. In the meantime, we need your help.

Tell us which book is your all-time favorite, and why. (If it’s very old or well-read, describe its condition.) Respond to mguilfoil@comcast.net.
