It’s being promoted as a “Beach Book Blowout”. So if you’re looking for a paperback to take to the beach, head to the the Emmet O’Neal Library today (Tuesday). I hear they have tons of books.

It chews you up and spits you out
I saw on Salon.com that David Silverman’s book Typo is coming out soon… Amazon says May 21st.
The story traces Silverman’s business venture with setting up, running and loosing a successful typesetting/design/publishing business. Silverman seems like someone who loves the publishing business too and jumped in with both feet.
I’m anxious to get this one in the tbr pile.
Adding audio
Part of the new set-up here is my hopes of adding fresher content. Which, of course, has lead me to research podcasts. There are only a handful that I keep up with, but in all my recent digging around I ran across this local podcast aggregate site and then another blogger calls for a local podacasters meet-up.
I might just have to swing by the old Pita Stop and get the scoop. I think it’d be neat to jump out there and post some interviews with a few of the bazillion authors passing though Birmingham. Maybe an interview with some of you cool book design bloggers too…
‘scuse the mess
I have been wanting to update the site and make room for some of the newer media plug-ins, widgets, etc. that I keep seeing on other people’s blogs, so I’m messing around with the templates. Hope it won’t keep you from coming back.
To be honest, I’m going to miss the simplicity a clean lines of the old just text layout. But I’m tired of drooling over what other people are doing and not getting to offer it myself. Now I get to participate!
Hopefully things will settle down over the next week here, site wise.
