why demand for book increased ?
Answers
If this were Family Feud, survey says: to be read. But in the real world, I have never found that convincing. To be sure, books get read but if you consider the life of a book, most of the time it is sitting on a shelf. Moreover, it is rarely the case that it is sitting in a box somewhere out of sight. That is, most of what a book actually does is put itself out there on display that its owner actually owns it. This is why books often make great gifts. Even if the recipient doesn’t want to read it, it adds to the collection on display. That is why when giving books as a gift, no one says (well rarely), “so and so hardly has any books so I should get them one.” Instead, the more books you own the more likely someone will give you one as a gift and hope that you don’t have it already. And what is the best way to counter that risk: buy something that has been recently released.
hey mate!
Manuscript could not satisfy the increasing demand of books in Europe during 14th century because
• They were delicate and fragile
• They were handwritten and costly.
• Writing them was a slow process.
• It was very time consuming and it could not be able to meet the demand of books for a large population
