Robert Darton from The Case for Books [Public Affairs, 2010]) on the virtues of the
book. The book is
great for packing information, convenient to thumb
through, comfortable to curl up with, superb for storage, and remarkably
resistant to damage. It does not need to be upgraded or downloaded, accessed or
booted, plugged into circuits or extracted from webs. Its design makes it a
delight to the eye. Its shape makes it a pleasure to hold in the hand (133; see
also Douglas Groothuis, “The Book, The Screen and the Soul,” in The Soul in Cyberspace [Baker, 1997]).

When it comes to General Education Development (GED) preparatory and practice packages, service providers just keep trying to outdo themselves. And the general public is benefiting much from this race to the top. There are so many possible choices for the GED reviewer these days. So much so that one might end up taking a whole day to go through the most attractive and cost-effective offers. The choice might eventually come down to which one has the most comprehensive set of GED printable practice test materials.
