In the effort to increase book reading some extravagant things are being said about books. It is made to【9】that nothing is happening now that has not happened before, and that the only true approach to understanding is【10】books. We do neither service nor justice to books by【11】upon them such omnipotence and omniscience. Many of the answers we need today are not necessarily to be found between【12】. There are elements of newness in the present【13】of man that will not readily be【14】of by required reading or ready reference. Books are not slide rules or blueprints for【15】automatic answers.
