And is it true? and so very sad to hear that Fine Books & Collections will be going solely digital beginning January 2009. And so it, too, goes the way of Biblio. See this link at Lux Mentis, Lux Orbis, with whom I heartily agree… I, too, ”want” the hard copy of these journals on my shelf. Why can we not sustain such a journal as this I wonder??
