Went Downtown to the Central library today and picked out a bunch of photography books. This is basically what I spent about an hour and a half of my afternoon doing today. 5 notes, double sided, of really really good photographs.
Over the next few days I’ll try and get a hold of as many as I can, and I’ll post them on here for all of you to see!
The honest answer to this last question should disappoint everyone: Publishers can’t charge enough money for 60-page books to survive; thus, writers can’t make a living by writing them. But readers are beginning to feel that this shouldn’t be their problem. Worse, many readers believe that they can just jump on YouTube and watch the author speak at a conference, or skim his blog, and they will have absorbed most of what he has to say on a given subject. In some cases this is true and suggests an enduring problem for the business of publishing. In other cases it clearly isn’t true and suggests an enduring problem for our intellectual life.

![I bought this book on Amazon.ca a day ago because a) I greatly admire Mr. Hawkings, and b) because the hardcover was on sale. I should be getting it sometime this week!
I also bought this too.
I wanted to buy this and this but I didn’t have enough on my card. [Darn..]
