		This book provides the so-called meaning of life, and gives validity and value to all of the good deeds the children have been trying to do since the first book.
		I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who hasn't read any of the other Chronicles of Narnia books because it would be hard for them to follow the story because this story in particular refers back to a lot of the other Books in the series.
		Notably, the Last Battle is superficially not a victory for the good guys, although we see that the victory belongs to the One who controls the battle.

	Battle of the Books -- by Eric Eldred, 1998-11-05
		Books as perpetual property property are incompatible with democracy and humanism.
		It was also quite risky to publish any book that might contain an image or quotation that a print publisher considered "owned"--whether the original work or the reproduction rights--by an archive, library, or other publisher.
		Without your being aware of it, important marketing information is fed back to the publisher--what you buy, what you view, what other books you read, what your demographics are, what equipment you have to view the antibooks--and the publishers can mine their databases and know exactly how to manipulate sales to you of these antibooks.

	The Battle of the Books, by Jonathan Swift
		In these books is wonderfully instilled and preserved the spirit of each warrior while he is alive; and after his death his soul transmigrates thither to inform them.
		Meanwhile, those books that were advocates for the Moderns, chose out one from among them to make a progress through the whole library, examine the number and strength of their party, and concert their affairs.
		It is wonderful to conceive the tumult arisen among the books upon the close of this long descant of AEsop: both parties took the hint, and heightened their animosities so on a sudden, that they resolved it should come to a battle.
