“My dear boy, books are powerful . . .’ The librarian paused to cough with a horrible chesty rattle, wincing as he did. ‘They are more than simple bound pages. Books may record the past, predict the future, or hold the darkest of secrets. At their best, they are societal equalisers. At their worst . . . well! Words can teach the truth as easily as they can spin a lie. And that’s not even considering that which lurks between the lines. The knife of interpretation is paper-thin, yet it cuts through minds with the slightest of pressure. Underestimate books at your peril.”
