Whatever's prevalent in the universities and among the chattering classes is sometimes something that needs exploding. And we're willing to throw the dynamite. A vegetarian gun-control advocate who opposes capital punishment is fine. But what pricks my interest more is the vegetarian anti-capital punishment cowboy who carries three shotguns displayed in the back window of the cab of his truck. Let's talk about Cybereditions.
Book publishing is such a nutty field.
It's been selling books off its site since the middle of this year. We have about 30 titles in process right now, and we're hoping to raise that number to over 100 in a couple of months. Books have been going out of print at the rate of 30-40,000 a year for the last 40 years. Some of our books are unchanged from the original edition, but most are in some way updated. Cybereditions is an application of computer technologies to a very traditional business.
