Booksquare has a brief post summarizing her thoughts on her new Kindle. I like what she has to say about it. Namely, that the Kindle is not the ipod of ebooks, and the the ebook market is building itself just fine without the “prefect device.”
Funny, as I finally saw my first Kindle in [...]

Gallycat has finally caught up with my post from a few days ago about Nina Katchadourian’s Book Title Poetry! His post is here. I’m glad he is as impressed by her work as I am, but let the record stand… I had the scoop!
Ok, certainly he didn’t pick this up from me. [...]

Flying Books (II), originally uploaded by manuela.martin.
Book Porn: Exciting pictures of books. If you have book porn, send it my way. If it’s truly exciting I would love to post it!

This is part 1 as I am on the train with 19% battery life on my laptop and draining fast. I forgot to plug in to power up before going to bed last night. I’m hoping to get something posted here before I run out or juice.

So, big picture, I think the [...]

Hey all – sorry. I usually don’t post on Sunday (and we were pretty busy at the Festival anyway), and I took Monday off to spend the day with my wife and daughter. We hadn’t seen each other much over the past week as I prepared for the festival and she was getting [...]

This has been the wettest, soggiest BBF that anyone I have talked to can remember. Books and humid, rainy weather do not go well together. Nor do a rain and a crowded book festival, apparently.
If you looked at this day in the wrong way, it would look like a disaster. We have [...]

I just saw an ad from Donahue Ford. Scotty Donahue announced that he just sold his last dealership back to Ford, and we would see no more of his ads.
Is this true? If it is:
THANK GOD!
His ads are an insult to the intelligence of my dog, let alone any human that has had [...]

So, I caught most of the debate tonight – on NPR on the way home from the festival and in the teevee box once I got home.
Maybe it was asked during the parts I missed, but I am shocked that they weren’t asked a single question about the most pertinent question our country faces right [...]

Ok, Day 1 is done. It was a soppy and wet end to a beautiful night. But we still had a great time. I met a bunch of authors, and made a dash through the author’s tent letting them all know about AuthorsBookshop.
Tonight was short – 4 hours of actual open-to-the-public festival. [...]

She is such a good helper!

Her AuthorsBookshop t-shirt is wet from the rain, and that is a book face-painted on her cheek. Seriously, they did face-painting at her daycare this afternoon. All the girls wanted fairies, butterflys and mermaids. My daughter? She asked for a book.
What can I say? It’s [...]
