The Alexandria Link

Plucked randomly from the shelves is a book I couldn't put down. It's a mystery that twists and turns with good guys being bad and bad guys being good. The ending leaves one breathless. The point of the mystery is to find what was once the worlds most complete library, the library at Alexandria.  Does it really exist? Can it be found?

The author, Steve Berry, notes Why Preserving History Matters in his blog entry at the Huffington Post. Libraries do preserve history. Librarians share that information. The real mystery is why our culture doesn't value the collection and sharing of  knowledge?
