The irony of bookstores

August 27th, 2007 by

While searching for a copy of EiM at Border’s, Scott Karp was struck by the irony of searching for a book about the problems with traditional organization in a store organized traditionally. Scott goes on to predict the demise not just of the bookstore but of business books in general…and the continued rise of linked writing on the Web.

    David,

    While I think he is right, Scott’s piece is just a little depressing for a book publisher on a Monday morning!

    I’m an academic, sort of (community college)–it blows my mind how little scholarly writing in my field is available on the web in linked form–even, ironically, writing about writing on the web! I find myself often impatient for the revolution to arrive, already.
