Among Adam Trimingham’s dislikes, grumbles and peeves are the Bee Gees and those who campaign to keep books central in public libraries (The Argus, February 8).
Mr Trimingham asserts that technology is supplanting books. However, public surveys have continually shown readers want more book stock. The book fund is increasing.
It is always dangerous to predict technical developments. Books are a proven technology over the centuries.
If he were a motorist, would he be driving a Sinclair C5, with a clutch of five-inch floppies on board as he listens to somebody other than the Bee Gees on an eight-track cartridge system?
