Books!, Books!, my faithful friends and companions who have comforted me through the joys and sorrows of life,
Praise be to you!. the creator of history with your written words and records.

Without you there would have been no Caesar ,No Cleopatra, No Hannibal, No Genghis Khan ,No Jesus, no Buddha and other great personalities,and indeed
No Egypt,No Rome,No Greece, no Babylon,
for us to read about
All would have come and gone without a trace.

There would have been no history, just the dull drudgery of day to day living with it's problems, frustrations and tribulations

Now, because of you, we can read about the lives and times, the cultures and societies of the glorious days gone by within your revered pages,

Now we can understand the world,the past and it's peoples a little better. All came to light because of you for our information and benefit and enjoyment of the past.

So again I say, all praise to you with thanks!
