An important message for changing times

"Out of Print" is an important, insightful, and timely examination of reading. From the very beginning of books as we know them to today's fast-paced, technology-driven world of e-books and Internet search engines, the film covers the history of the written word. More importantly, it raises the question of whether the way many people, especially children, read today (in short snippets instead of traditional book-length texts) is detrimental to society or merely an inevitable, not-so-bad step in the evolution of reading. The film is beautifully edited and thought-provoking. It would be an excellent educational tool for schools and libraries, and I believe its message would also resonate with the general public.
