Head of Penguin Group not running from digital revolution

The UK's Daily Mail has a look at Penguin and it's chief, John Makinson. Penguin was an early proponent of the paperback, and continues to embrace new formats. A great read (hat tip: Nate's Book News).

Lack of updates this weekend...

Sorry in advance for a relative lack of updates over this upcoming weekend. This afternoon through the wee hours of the night I'm at a charity celebrity sports auction for the South Florida Make-a-Wish Foundation (support your local chapter if you can) as their event photographer. This weekend, I'll be taking my daughter on a long overdo trip to Disney (oh the perks of living in Florida - cheap access). I'll be updating the site over the weekend, but in smaller spurts to be sure.
