- The Town of Books at Hay-on-Wye. The article tells the history of the Town of Books at Hay-on-Wye, Wales, begun in 1962 by Richard Booth. After four decades of bookish evolution Hay-on-Way's 38 antiquarian bookshops attract thousands and thousands of tourists and book-lovers from all over the world who visit the town and browse through over a million books in stacks. The moral of the story is that an old book is as good reading as a new one, and through his activities Booth has saved more books from destruction than most people and brought the books into the hands of readers.The idea of Town of Books has spread throughout the world and by now over 20 Towns of Books can be found in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Richard Booth has offered his assistance in starting a Town of Books in Iceland as soon as a suitable small town has been found.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Librarianship of the Past and the Present. In this articie the author iooks to former times to discover the foundation of modern librarianship. Although we still have far to go Ín the fleld of in-formation technology, the author contends that without the bibliographical groundwork done by previous centuries' librarians, electronic information retrieval would not be as advanced as it is today. To support his contention the author describes the ancient library at Ebla in SyrÍa, gives an account of the bibliographical work of Konrad Gesner and ends by recounting aspects of former librarian of the British Library, Antonio PanizzÍ's work. The article begins by describing the Hbrary at Ebla. This library is the oldest known library in the world. It Ís interesting not only because of the large amount of cuneiform tablets which were found there but also because it gives us a good idea of what library services were like 4.500 years ago. The tablets were classified and shelved accordingly; the library was also a centre for scientifíc research. The SwÍss naturalist, Konrad Gesner, has been called the fírst modern bibliographer. His bibliography, Bibliotheca univer-salis, is renowned throughout the library world. His solutions to various bibliographic problems are still considered useful in many ways. Antonio Panizzi reorganised the British Library turning it into the great library it is today. Librarianship has a glorious past and can certainly look forward to a glorious future.

- What is a „Book"? In this article the author defines the book as any text carrier regardless of form. The article starts off with an account of the Swedish art historian Lars Vilks' activities at Kullaberg in Sweden. Vilks is best known for his stone sculpture on the beach which was later judged to be a book, given the title Arx, complete with ISBN-number and cataloguing data in the Swedish National Database LIBRIS. The University Library in Lund, which is a deposit library, has claimed a deposit copy, a task which is easier said than done. Arx is 6 meters high and 12 meters wide and weighs 150 tons. With Arx as his starting point the author contends that the definition of a book is not all that simple. He goes on to recount the history of the book starting with oral legends and ending with the electronic book, which he judges to be the next logical step in the cvolutionary proccss of the book. He also cites other examples of unusual books including imaginary books, books that were never written etc.
