Interesting article republished in in Shelf-Awareness: Pew Study: Library Patrons & E-Borrowing I'm a Library junkie and will borrow a book before buying. If I really like it, THEN I'll buy it. I haven't yet borrowed an e-book. Have you?

Publishing Publishers

Did you know there were two AVALONs? There’s the Avalon Publishing Group, established in 1994, which includes the imprints Avalon Travel Publishing, Carroll & Graf Publishers, Marlowe & Company, Nation Books, Seal Press, Shoemaker & Hoard, and Thunder’s Mouth Press.

And there’s Avalon Books, primarily producing romance, westerns and mysteries...Well, there was Avalon Books. This month, Amazon Publishing has acquired more than 3,000 backlist Avalon titles that will be republished under Amazon’s West Coast Imprints.

Did you know Amazon has imprints?
