A MODEST PLAN TO BAIL OUT THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

Did you see this brilliant piece by Julian Gough in Sunday's New York Times!? Sure, I care about the auto industry. Sure I care about banking and finance...who doesn't!? But I must admit that #1 on mind right now is how we keep my chosen industry alive!

I'm not sure that it's as simple as keeping bad books out of the system. I think that we need to do what we can to keep bookstores open, and to keep readers buying books! Forgo a meal out this Saturday nite. Buy a book instead! You'll enjoy it alot longer. Feed your book addiction! Feed your mind!
