Excited about the launch of the website for my client Michael Bush’s book Dressing Michael Jackson (Dressing Michael Jackson by Michael Bush (Official Website), and the start of the exhibitions at the Museum of Fashion in Santiago, Chile later this month. The book will be published by Insight Editions this fall, and it’s going to be amazing!

The Missing 20th Century: How Copyright Protection Makes Books Vanish - Rebecca J. Rosen - Technology - The Atlantic:

Fascinating that there are as many books from 1910 available now as those published between 2000-2010, but far fewer books from the 1930s - 1980s.

“As the e-publishing revolution continues, expect more books like Fifty Shades of Grey and don’t be surprised if no new Whitmans appear anytime soon. Traditional publishing has its limitations, but good literature still needs editors, agents, proofreaders, designers, and publicists to make a book as flawless as it can be. Perhaps the digital age will produce e-editors, e-agents, and e-publicists that specialize in bringing e-literature, rather than just e-books, to a reading public ready for more.”

Bendable E-Reader Going Into Production

E-readers are a great tool, but the one big disadvantage is that they’re made of breakable glass and sensitive electronics that can get damaged when dropped. Books, by contrast, are pretty durable.

LG Display has brought flexible, light and tough e-readers a little closer to reality. The company announced that it is mass-producing a flexible electronic paper display, or EPD.

Anne Lamott's sequel to 'Operating Instructions': 'Some Assembly Required' :

“You pretty much have control over only what’s in your own hula hoop, which means that all you can do is get it all down, the powerlessness of everything.”
