the ultimate truth is: all books should be burnt...

No, no, no!!!!!

No burn the books!!!

Oh, there are so many books I wish I could have read and I could have if it hadn't been for book burnings and fires.

Oh, so many beautiful one of a kind single master piece books, works of art they are, lost due to being burnt.

Burning a book, especially a one of a kind, even if it was scanned into a digital image, would be heresy!!!

It would be like burning the paintings of Fitzgerald or Goya!
Just because they are scanned into some web page.
Books are art too!

I've read the scanned works of "Henry Cornelius Agrippa" and "John Baptista Porta" and I've read the actual books themselves in my hands. The art work put into the lettering of its print and the scent of the old book was Magick itself.
I've never gotten that feeling from an e-book.

Oh, it would break my heart to see such things...the burning of books.
