Books are special. They require no batteries or electricity. They have no digital rights management (DRM). They're the distilled knowledge and research accumulated by the author. They are portable and easily shared with others. When there are many people in an Offline Society, the burden of purchasing them can be spread across the members who then share the books, like tools, in a library.
Much of the "old knowledge" is only available in books anyway--you can't download them to your Kindle. Some of these books will be used. Collect them. Improve on them, and republished with your local improvements and pass them down forward though the future generations. Books are recommended because they last.
