Publishers Can Improve Their Markets and Sell More Books

As a writer (blogs, magazines, and a book), I've got an unhealthy interest in publishing. A number of my blog posts spring from that attraction. Here's a list to get you started:

  • Books, Publishing, & the Community
  • Technical Publishing Market — A Whole 'Nother Look at Things
  • WalMart and the Publisher
  • Wresponding to Wrox
  • The Big Box Publisher
  • Mom & Pop Publishers
  • A Tale of Two Books
  • Publishing: the Four Kinds Revisited
  • An Authors Story: a cautionary tale
  • Editor Interview: Talking about Open Content with O'Reilly's Mike Loukides
  • Books, Bits, or Both
  • Communities, Publishers, and Conferences
