Default Building a library...

The structure of a collection can be almost anything. Ian Fleming
put together a collection of first printings of books that changed
the world, e.g. Watson and Crick, "The Double Helix".


Since when did any popular science book change the world?

Did Fleming think that book was how the result got into the public
domain?
