The wheelwright said "All that was worth handing on, died with them."

If "All" means "All", it seems to me that the wheelwright thought that the books contained nothing worth handing on. I think that is tantamount to saying that books are useless.

....

But there is another angle to this, which I think might be useful to explore. Perhaps the wheelwright, while an excellent craftsman, was a poor teacher. I am sure that not every excellent clarinet player is an excellent teacher. I wonder whether there are excellent teachers of the clarinet - teachers at a high level, I mean, not teachers of beginners - who are mediocre players?

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
