Literary "Downpaging"


This is why my next book is coming out in soft-cover-- so my non-profit, artist, and other financially challendged friends and family will love me more. My second book can be got for less than $15!

"New releases of hard-cover novels cost $25 and more these days. If you buy just two a month, that's $600 a year."

From "Ten Sure Ways to Trim your Budget"

Read more from "Shouts and Murmurs" in the New Yorker:

I read that New Yorker article.

Ah---Hardcovers are nice. But let's push the softies!

Softcovers are more portable and easier to curl up on the couch with. No harsh edges to poke you in the leg...but I can imagine the book collectors of the future will debate the merit and value of first edition softcover books.

Hey!

Did I miss something? Amazon.com seems to think that _Talking to the Moon_ is available to ship. Is this true?

I mean, I want to invite everyone to your reading!

I'm in the NP, driven by passion, financially challenged category too. Thanks for the foresighted assist.
