    Published: 2001
    Double Fold examines the preservation of books in United States libraries over the past 50 years. It details the libraries "war" on books -- the alarming lack of preservation and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of irreplacable bound originals including 19th-century illustrated dailies. He chronicles the attempts to find ways of preserving books from both the ravages of time and the librairies' lack of shelf space.
