Since the advent of television people have been prophesying the death of the book. Now the rise of the World Wide Web seems to have revived this smoldering controversy from the ashes. The very existence of paper copy has been brought into question once more.
It might be the bookstore, rather than the book itself, that is on the brink of extinction. Many of you will have noted lots of bookseller websites popping up. They provide lists of books and let you read sample chapters, reviews from other customers and interviews with authors.
What does all this mean? Browsing a virtual bookstore may not afford you the same dusty pleasure as browsing round a real shop, but as far as service, price and convenience are concerned, there is really no competition. This may change before long, as publishers’ websites begin to offer direct access to new publications.
Perhaps it is actually the publisher who is endangered by the relentless advance of the Internet. There are a remarkable number of sites republishing texts online -- an extensive virtual library of materials that used to be handled primarily by publishing companies.
From the profusion of electronic-text sites available, it looks as if this virtual library is here to stay unless a proposed revision to copyright law takes many publications out of the public domain. However, can electronic texts still be considered books?
Then again, it might be the editor at risk, in danger of being cut ont of the publishing process. The Web not only makes it possible for just about anyone to publish whatever they like -- whenever they like -- there are virtually no costs involved. The editors would then be the millions of Internet users. And there is little censorship, either.
So possibly it is the printed page, with its many limitations, that is perishing as implications of new technologies begin to be fully realized. Last year Stanford University published the equivalent of a 6,000-page Business English dictionary online. There seem to be quite obvious benefits to housing these multi-volume reference sets on the Web. The perceived benefits for other books, such as the novel, are perhaps less obvious.
