And the library contains a lot of information the Internet doesn't. Heaps
and heaps of it in fact, on all sorts of obscure subjects, usually with
things like references and bibliographies so you can check its accuracy too.
But as I'm a bibliophile and I just _love_ filling my bookshelves, I prefer
the bookshop to either.
