*in the UK.
I like his weekly videos, but this one is missing a fairly important qualifier in the title. Still informative and interesting.
Right! It would have been stunning if it tried to aquire every book published in every language… Though I suppose if certain books are imported and sold, then they would show up in this library
It doesn’t even have every book published in the UK, because there are a lot of books, especially at the beginning of the printing press period, which does not exist in any known copies anymore.
Not to mention that the policy of collecting ephemera is a relatively new one, so most older ephemera doesn’t exist in its collections either.
The Library of Babel
If this video was in the US.
“This library destroys every book published.”
Yeah, but do they have a copy of Ass Goblins of Auschwitz? I think not.
