Abstract
It is within the realm of possibility, says biochemist Elie A. Shneour , that libraries and bookshops as we know them today will fade out of widespread use in the future, as the traditional book is replaced by t eleprinted volumes, ordered via computer and printed out in the reader 's own living room or study.
