Spent the last few hours getting the Black Hound relaunch sorted out. It's amazing how two sheets of paper can change your perception on a great many things. An article on electronic publishing sent to me by a work colleague, Paul, has changed the whole Black Hound approach to publishing. In February this year, in America, the sales of electronically published books outsold paperbacks for the first time. The implications of this are manifold, initially and obviously the impact on existing, conventional publishing houses is clear. The knock on effect is less obvious, publishing agents, printers, ink makers and even carpenters (book cases) will be effected. I need to get the Amazon shop front sorted and the ISBNs bought and understood before we continue with publishing.
On a separate note after the fantastic encounter with Phil's sausages last night I returned to his shop at three thirty to buy a selection, but, guess what? Yup, he closed on a Saturday at three-thirty, bollocks!! Will use the correct method, the Cub, to return next week and get the required produce.
Back to Black Hound, more later.
