Once again, I have scoured the world-wide web so you don’t have to.
David Gaughran is on print-industry death-watch.
What are your six words?
Ban finally lifted on Mark Twain’s dirty, dirty book!

Print industry death watch sounds like I am eating popcorn and cackling over bookstore closures!
It is catchy though. It has a certain ring to it.
Just in case anyone thinks I am cheering these developments, let me say that I love bookstores (with the possible exception of some of those horrible airport ones), and I love print books. I don't even own a Kindle yet, although I read some e-books on my laptop.
I'll probably order one soon – reading on the laptop is not ideal and lots of stuff I like to read is only available as an e-book and/or much cheaper.

P.S. Love that Weird Books Room. Now there's an idea for a bricks-and-mortar bookstore that could survive this digital wave.
David – didn't mean to imply you were rooting for it, only watching over it. I love the weird books room too, and I think you are right, THAT one may survive! 🙂
Oh, don't worry, my comment was in jest.
I think I might have to open a weird bookstore though.
The writer of the article on Weird Book Rooms–Daniel Kalder–is a hoot!
