Print is dead? What would William Morris say?

“If I were asked to say what is at once the most importantproduction of Art and the thing most to be longed for; I should answer;A beautiful House; and if I were further asked to name the productionnext in importance and the thing next to be longed for; I shouldanswer; A beautiful Book.
