Martin VopěnkaIf books perish, then so will the entire civilisation – all that elevates us to the level of spiritual, intelligent beings. This is why we must believe in the perseverance of books, says Mr Martin Vopěnka, President of the Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers.

A book printed on paper is the bearer of its content and tells us that this content is not spent in merely one reading. It endures even after it has been read, added Mr Vopěnka.
