It is in my opinion an industry that looks to hard at how to wring the greatest dollar amount from the consumer and is as of late providing the least back. Case in point, it is so very hard to find anything but generalities at my local Chapters. Is that because the public only wants to read fluff? I dont know. Is it the struggling publishers fault? Probably not, no doubt they are just trying to make sound economic decisions so do I have an answer? No I suppose not – you would know better than me.

The problem is likely some global trend that influences the actions of the people – technology, decreasing concentration span of the reader, smaller profit margin, dispersal of the publishing house over an entire continent, printing in China. Ah I have just confused myself, Its past my bedtime. Maybe you have the answer. Mick http://rockwatching.wordpress.com

Indeed I found it alittle inconvenient myself earlier today!

He would earn greater street cred among the elder statesmen of the blogging world if he engaged in conversation instead of one-way punditry.
