These days

Now that anyone is free to print whatever they wish, they often disregard that which is best and instead write, merely for the sake of entertainment, what would best be forgotten, or, better still be erased from all books.

Francesco Guarnerio in 1471, less than twenty year after the invention of the printing press

Books are the nectar of the mind; all books whether to entertain or to educate or to plain bore you, are to be protected.....don't touch!
