Dass dieses Editorial nun aus meiner Feder stammt, liegt wohl daran, dass ich ihm diese Aufgabe respektive Ehre irgendwas zwischen abgeluchst und abgenommen habe. Ist ja letztlich auch vollkommen wurscht, wiesoweshalbwarum … Nun denn, auf zur Tat. Vorliegen habt ihr nicht weniger als 144 Seiten voll mit Tests der vergangenen anderthalb Jahre rund um Gitarren, Amps, Effekte und Zubehör. Ausgewählt haben wir nach verschiedenen Kriterien: So sind etwa unsere Preis-Leistungs-Sieger mit dabei, dazu kleine, aber feine Hersteller wie Malekko, Orion oder Mad Professor. Selbstredend fehlen ebensowenig die Großen wie Fender, Gibson, Blackstar, EVH und Charvel, Klassiker aus dem Hause Marshall oder die High-Class-Gitarren aus dem Hause Ernie Ball. Die Music Man Ball Family Reserve Cutlass in Malibu Gold ist dann auch unsere Titelheldin geworden. Absolut verdient, sagen wir! Viel Spaß beim Lesen, Schmökern und Entdecken der einen oder anderen neuen Information in unserem guitar-guide 2018! Für die Redaktion der Stephan 3 Gitarren, Amps, Effekte & Co.

    WORLD OF THE BOOK Books are mirrors of many worlds: worlds here and distant, past and present, real and imagined. Through text and image, they act as keepers of ideas, of knowledge and of stories. This exhibition showcases many of the rare, beautiful and historically significant books held by this Library on behalf of the Victorian community. It celebrates the unique place of books in our hearts and minds, taking you on a journey through the history of book production, design and illustration, from the medieval era to the present day. BOOKS AND IDEAS ‘[T]he book is an extension of the eye...’ Marshall McLuhan The history of ideas is mirrored in the history of the book. Books have altered the course of history itself, through the dissemination of ideas that have changed how we think about the world and ourselves. In many cultures across different eras, books have played a highly symbolic and iconic role. There was a time when it was thought that the world’s knowledge could be collected between the covers of a book. The information explosion of recent times now makes it impossible to contain the world’s knowledge within one library, let alone in one book, yet books continue to be a powerful means of informing and inspiring new generations. The Dome Galleries You are standing in what was once the book stacks for the whole library. This photograph shows the storage of ‘elephant folios’ (very large books) in this very spot. Librarians used the spiral metal stairs to retrieve the books requested by readers sitting at desks below in the Dome Reading Room.
