In the new books section at my friendly local public library, I just found and read a wonderful little illustrated book by Neil Gaiman from 2018 titled Art Matters (illustrated by Chris Riddell).
On September 6, 2018 The Guardian published one of the
essays from it, the 19-page Why Our
Future Depends On Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming. That essay came from the
2013 Reading Agency Lecture, which you can find at their web site (as both a YouTube
video and a transcript). Compare the transcript with the essay, and you
will see the power of editing.
The image was adapted from a WPA poster at the Library of
Congress.
