Welcome back and happy new year! Okay—so 2013 is more than three weeks old at this point. What can I say? The semester started and I needed to hit the ground running. In any case I’m pleased to be back and glad that you are, too. My first post of the year is actually something [...]
“As my bishop would say, I’m livin’ because of my givin’.” —Rev. Run ‘Tis the season for giving, and in the spirit of the season I’m giving away free downloads of The Late Age of Print. Well, maybe “free” isn’t exactly the right word. The download will cost you a tweet, or a post on [...]
Columbia University Press is holding its annual spring sale, and by sale, I mean S-A-L-E! All CUP titles, including The Late Age of Print, are now 50% off. (The deal is for North American orders only. Sorry, rest of world!) Here’s the link to the Late Age page on the CUP website; just enter the [...]
My blogging got interrupted as a result of my (very welcome) spring break travels, so apologies for not posting any new material last week. But it wasn’t just travel that kept me from writing. I’ve also been busy giving interviews about my past and current research projects, which, truth be told, were a real blast [...]
I’ll be back in 2012, most likely the second week in January. Until then, happy holidays to all of my readers, and thanks for supporting The Late Age of Print — both the book and the blog. 2011 has been a banner year for Late Age, and with you it promises to get even better. [...]
I’m about the enter the final week of my undergraduate “Cultures of Books and Reading” class here at Indiana University. I’ll be sad to see it go. Not only has the group been excellent this semester, but I’ve learned so much about how my students are negotiating this protracted and profound moment of transition in [...]
First, I hope all of my readers in the United States had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I really needed a break myself, so I took last week off from blogging in order to recharge. Second, I want to thank everyone for the amazing response to my previous post, on e-reading and indie bookstores. I haven’t had [...]
Great news, y’all. About a month ago I received a copy of the Korean translation of my book, The Late Age of Print: Everyday Book Culture From Consumerism to Control! I’m thrilled, needless to say, and even a bit surprised. Last summer the publisher of the English language edition, Columbia University Press, let me know [...]
One of the recurrent themes you’ll find here on the Late Age of Print blog is the “end of the book.” Usually when I raise this I’m talking about printed books and the relationship they share to e-readers and other forms of digital technology. And usually when I go down that road, I end up [...]
Just after Christmas I promised there’d be a big announcement coming in the new year. Well, a month in and here it is: The Late Age of Print is now available in paperback! Yes folks, that’s right. If you’ve been holding off buying the book because it was available only in hardback (and, ahem, free [...]
