Formerly having a magnificent collection of books was considered prestigious and the owner could lend glamour to his property. It often happens that in private home libraries there are some rarities - priceless volumes passed down from generation to generation, the first issues of the masterpieces of world literature or rare copies of the low-edition series. Currently paper books are increasingly replaced by audiobooks and ebooks, whereas antique prints are digitalized. Some bibliophiles decide to donate their collections to libraries or museums.
