I woke from a fretful sleep and discovered a question pinballing through my synapses: What the heck does Kuzuo Ishiguro think about this? Or, more generally: Whose book is it, anyway? You might have thought [..] |

| Burying the book NPR is featuring, at its site, an excerpt from a chapter of The Shallows titled "The Very Image of a Book," which looks at the rise of e-books and the consequences for reading and writing. The excerpt, which is taken from the end of the chapter, describes how pundits have, for about two centuries now, been eagerly proclaiming the imminent death of the book. And, over and over again, they've been p [..] |

| Between a book and a web search In a well-turned essay to be published in tomorrow's Los Angeles Times, available immediately thanks to the miracle of digital type, Beau Friedlander, the editor-in-chief of Air America, looks into the "chasm between virtual texts and their printed counterparts."

Ni no Kuni: take a look, it's in a book  When we went into Level-5's TGS booth to play the DS version of Ni no Kuni, we were greeted with an ornate surprise: the spellbook accessory that comes with the Studio Ghibli/Level-5 role-playing game. We took a moment out of our strict 15-minute d [..] |

| The remains of the book One of the essential characteristics of the printed book, as of the scribal codex that preceded it, is its edges. Those edges, as John Updike pointed out not long before he died, manifest themselves in the physical form of bound books - "some are rough-cut, some are smooth-cut, and a few, at least at my extravagant publishing house, are even top-stained" - but they are also there aesthetically and [..] |

But maybe it's just the blogger in me. [..] |

| More on book bundling Following up on my earlier post suggesting that publishers include a free copy of an ebook with a sale of a print book, here's a piece from Publishers Weekly reviewing some of the pros and cons of book bundling as well as a response from a publisher.
