Margaret Atwood and the Publishing Industry

Last week, the Tools of Change for Publishing Conference was on in New York.  One of the keynote addresses was given by Margaret Atwood.  She discusses the publishing industry, but also a topical issue of ebooks vs paper books.  Watch it if you haven’t already done so.  Not only is it informative, but it is also highly humourous.  I must also say that her Powerpoint presentation, with her own illustrations, deserves a special mention.

She also gave an interview for the occasion.

And for those of you who want to improve their book blogging skills, here is the advice that was given by some experts at the conference.

Cat library

Corentin Dombrecht is a belgian designer and he has created the perfect bookshelves for cat lovers.  Have a look:

Isn’t it cool?

It might create a bit of a fight in my house for who gets to occupy the cushy spot though, but I’m sure they would love it.

Would Tantrum fit as well as in his plastic box on top of the fridge?

Would Mischief be as elegant on it?

Would Kaos find it comfier than the sink?

Would Gypsy finally stop killing my plants?
