Unfortunately or fortunately, depending which generation you talk to, digital books will replace a lot of publishers but thankfully not the artists or the writers, otherwise we will be 'robots'Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297710045111350899.post-9428724083602688062010-11-14T23:34:23.866-05:002010-11-14T23:34:23.866-05:00I love the fact that the books are being published...I love the fact that the books are being published in Canada rather than elsewhere.

There will always be a place for specialized arts and craftsmanship but when you factor in how many books a year Gaspereau Press would produce - 1000 X 52 =52, 000, and then consider that Canada alone has a population of 33 million, USA - 300 million, I think China's massed production will allow more people to read The Sentimentalist before it is out of print or moved aside for the next best seller. It's nice to know that the book will be available sooner than later to the masses.Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297710045111350899.post-40196208965430967432010-11-14T08:14:25.772-05:002010-11-14T08:14:25.772-05:00Perhaps I'll be lucky to get my copy by next C...Perhaps I'll be lucky to get my copy by next Christmas at their rate unless you lend me yours.Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297710045111350899.post-42983617803649351802010-11-14T08:07:05.473-05:002010-11-14T08:07:05.473-05:00Hi M,

I'm sure the old world Amish would appreciate the Gaspereau Press method as they do churning butter by hand and plowing their fields with horses but it doesn't realistically serve most of today's world - you can't turn back the clock.Mnoreply@blogger.com
