As part of our correspondence related to Dan’s Taiwan article, below, he related this little anecdote that I thought I should share with you. Dan says:
Recently I spoke with a top book editor in Taiwan, Linden Lin:
“When asked whether he was concerned that the digital age might do away completely with printed books, the bookish, middle-aged Mr Lin in Taiwan, a book editor, merely smiles and says, “We’re still using candles for some things, aren’t we?”
