I heard a podcast with the voice of Eddie Freeman, the creative director of O’Reilly Books.
The idea of putting an engraving of an animal on many of the O’Reilly books was her idea. She had a book of engravings in her home and used that to seed the idea with her publishing colleagues.

My local Borders book shop carries books on HTML 4.01 right next door to latest books on AJAX.
It just opens up all sorts of questions:
How on earth can we keep up with all of these different ways of putting stuff onto the web?
Is there really a market for such a broad range of old and new web techniques?
Why would anyone buy a book on HTML 4.01 now in 2006? I suppose it has its place, but frankly, if you are new to this, then don’t buy anything that has a version number in the title.

According to China’s People’s Daily Online China has for the first time published a book online before it is published on paper.
The publishing house, which edited and published the e-book "Not Angel, Not Devil," will publish the paper version 90 days after the e-book’s launch.

Edward Tufte’s new book, Beautiful Evidence will soon be available
You can see the news about this on his web site here. Edward Tufte ‘self-publishes’ his work and the results are superb. This new book sets out the issues surrounding the methods that need to be used to present convincing evidence.
Author Tom Engelhardt interviews himself about his novel.
Does this predict things to come? It isn’t really clear who the author is being interviewed by.
This web site is a kind of depository for all the things about getting stuff onto the web.
Also see my web site about my boat AViVA. This was built with iWeb (not exactly to web standards but interesting tool for web building).
