- Sterling Editing
The brilliant and wonderful Nicola Griffith and Kelley Eskridge have opened the doors of Sterling Editing. Recommended! - ISBNs and ebooks: Part 7624
Laura Dawson looks at the various ISBN issues from the standpoint of people who actually work with the numbers on a day-to-day basis. Some of what she reveals is…shocking (okay, not really, but it might shock someone out there!). - Back by popular demand, the book page returns
The Greensboro News-Record has restored book coverage to the print edition. And it sounds like they’re doing it in a smart way. - Gathering Dominos
As a former Domino subscriber (who, inexplicably, was given Glamour to round out the subscription period when Domino was folded — bad move), I’m looking forward to Lonny. - Amazon Kindle Store vs. public domain books
Really interesting piece about Amazon, Kindle, and public domain works. - Think before suing
Our favorite boffin Brian O’Leary wrote the post we wanted to write, had we the time. Come for the life lessons, stay for the humor. And ask yourself this: are you using your brain for good or evil? - GOP Clashes With FCC on Net Neutrality
Of course they do. Because the last thing Republicans want is a system that actually favors people who use these services. - 2009-09-22 Memo in Support of Motion for Adjournment of Fairness Hearing

A very good week for Random House, but not nearly close enough to be a record-breaker. Still, we focus on the fact that people are buying books and more books. - ‘Symbol,’ ‘Compass’ Reinvigorate Debate on Embargoes, Discounts
Debate continues, resolution not to be found. Embargoes, to our mind, remain silly, especially since the New York Times is the only true beneficiary. The deep discounts, well, there’s just no way for smaller sellers to compete, especially when the larger sellers aren’t necessarily in the book business. - Free E-books Spur Sales at Kensington
Very good news for Kensington authors and Kensington itself.
