I know there are online collections like Google Books now, but not everyone has internet access, and it's not the same as holding a book in your hands.

The big museums in London have. At least accessing stuff on line is better than nothing. Its not the same as seeing the real painting or being able to see or even handle the actual artefact or document I know. As for books, there is always Waterstones, Amazon or the Charity shops I suppose!! I'm desperately grabbing at straws, Sue.

They have always been a free source of self education; they are our memory and our understanding and a rich source for creativity and imagination. We will all be poorer for their going.<br />Now, don't get me on to social housing!!!!!!TONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.com
