New Publisher Journal


As we move into book publishing, we've started a new blog, newpublisherjournal.com, which explores our thoughts on the publishing industry.

Some of our thoughts have been getting attention. Here's Derek to explain:

Ah, well, last week I posted a list of ideas for improving small bookstores, based on a conversation D and I had on our last Wisconsin drive.

Anyways, I submitted it two places -- Plastic.com and Kottke.org, and both places picked it up. Kottke.org is a blogger's blog, and lots of people read it -- in the first few hours there, we had 300-400 clicks to that specific entry (it's brought over 2000 clicks in the past 24hrs). Plastic brought in some traffic, but not nearly as much:

Since those two, the link has been picked up by a number of other blogs; the most notable:

MSNBC (it's short-bits stolen from bloggers, but I won't complain :)

A record-store blog that suggests it's readers replace the word 'book' with 'record' and take that at it's value to them

A library blog in Portuguese suggests libraries take note.

A small-business themed news site has it linked under "Marketing"

And Rovidica, another big linkblog, noticed us too.

Why do we still love to watch this stuff? We already know the endings...

And why do we collect items from these shows? Didn’t we already throw those things away?
