Resumen de Editor’s Note (to Future Readers—Especially You Newer Ones

Richard Saunders

• Moments of change provide opportunities for reflection. I am fairly sure that function is part of what makes us human. When I assumed the editor’s chair for RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage, I knew that I would eventually turn over that chair to a successor. Such is the lot of we mortals; nothing lasts forever. Even so, in turning over my last issue to you, dear Reader, I conclude my editorial forum with a few musings and admonitions from an old guy with more experience than wisdom, begging your indulgence in this final and somewhat more personal editorial comment.
