Cultural Winners and Losers, 2009

Do your books begin on page "0"? "1" is the first number, the beginning. "0" is a cipher that adds value only when put behind another number. Having worked for years in the print vocation, I have never seen any numbered document of any kind start with '0'. Always it is with '1', whether Roman or Arabic.

The decade starts with the number 1. Therefore, next year is the beginning of the new decade, as 2001 was the beginning of this decade.
