Answer 1

To Faber, books were “…only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget.” Faber valued books in that they hold great thoughts and are the results of deliberate study undertaken by researchers. Faber understands that the value of books is not in their physical assets. Their value is in what they say—if the words conveyed by their authors and carefully constructed and written down based on diligent study, research, and contemplative consideration.
