While chaining books was a popular practice throughout Europe, it was not used in all libraries. The practice of chaining library books became less popular as printing increased and books became less expensive.[1] Wimborne Minster in Dorset, England is yet another example of a chained library. It is one of the first in England and the second (recently demoted to third as Wells Cathedral chained library recently re-chained a number of their books) largest.[5]
