Books--Still Useful, Still Popular, Not Dead Yet

Got a bit of a mash-up of book-related stuff that caught my eye (courtesy of The Reader's Advisor Online).

First, an interesting NY Times article on a literary alternative sentencing program for convicts.

Second, proof positive that print books are still in demand. But is this a book giveaway or a warehouse looting? (Check the third photo down. The title on the red book made me smile.)

Finally, if we switch to e-books, I guess we'll stop judging a book by its cover. (Assuming we ever did. Question: would complete conversion to e-books render that expression meaningless?) But some people would argue that the covers themselves can sometimes make the book.
