Those will be hit as well. The Magna Carta and more. The list is long but grab them now and have waterproof containers etc to protect them. I’ve been purchasing hardbacks for the last few years and wrapping them in protective plastic and storing them in waterproof bins. They’re being stored in an undisclosed location. It sounds crazy writing this even to me but history shows that the burning and elimination of the written word is a real thing. Preparing for those who come after us. I’ve also filled 3- four inch 3 ring binders with printed stories from online…many of which have already been scrubbed. I think to myself …what would we know about the ancient world without hieroglyphs or the Dead Sea scrolls? 🤷♀️ best investment I could think of to help my grands and whatever their futures hold.
The Eloi didn't need books anymore; they were farmed livestock, with everything provided for them. They had 'bread and circuses.' Remember when the main character found out they had a library, and the girl took him there, and he swept his hand across the shelf, the books dissolving into a dust cloud, from age and neglect? That and the drowning scene earlier, when he was the only one who cared that she was drowning, made him realize what had happened to humanity. In a way, we're like that man, trying to get our fellow citizens to see the value of information they either never hear or ignore if they do.
If you can find it, get a set of the 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, the pinnacle of encyclopedia publishing has never been equaled. I ordered mine in 1980 from King's Bookstore in Detroit when all the old Detroit families who made their money off the auto industry were having estate sales. I think I paid $300 - 1980 dollars. My grandchildren will inherit these.

Great idea......will you let me know where you hid them, ‘just in case’!
😉 need to know basis 🤣
😂

I agree, great idea! Even better, hide the Word in our hearts ♥️ memorize scripture. No one can remove or change that.
Think The Time Machine.... I always wondered how the Eloi had no books, I guess all of their info was safely stored in the cloud.
