Last week I received the first copy of Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age, from my editor in the UK. I think it looks really great, and my thanks go out to everyone who worked on it. Copies are now being shipped to our warehouse, and the book itself will go on sale in early November. Needless to say, the book will also be made available in all eBook formats, in addition to being in Google’s print program. In addition to this we’re working on a website that will make a large portion of the book’s content available, for free, in electronic and audio form. The website with content will debut in October; more news and announcements about that when it’s available, and of course I’ll be posting any reviews or any other mentions as they start coming in.

    Oh yes, everything will be done to make the content available in ways that, well, support the thesis of the book, including electronically and in audio. More to come…

    you must have had a good connection
    with _some_ publishing house to get
    a contract for such an obvious topic.

    not complainin’, just sayin’… :+)

    Hey Congratulations! I look forward to reading the book (in electronic format, of course).

    Hey Jeff - it looks lovely. Who is your UK publisher? Amazon UK is only listing the US edition.

    Macmillan Science is publishing the book in the UK. It still has a few months to come out, so hopefully the right publisher will be listed by the time it does…
