''The Use and Misuse of Books'' is a non-fiction book written by Frederic Harrison and published in 1896. The book explores the role of books in society and the ways in which they can be both beneficial and harmful. Harrison argues that books are an important tool for education and personal growth, but also cautions against the dangers of relying too heavily on books for knowledge and understanding. He discusses the impact of books on politics, religion, and social issues, and examines the ways in which books can be used to manipulate and deceive. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the power and influence of books in society, and remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with the role of information in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
