Hi listees,

intelegent people here to open their eyes and see. There is too much denile.
Folks only"see what they belive! And they don't belive what they see!"

Darren and James,
With all due respect, and I'm not picking sides here or
trying to get in between either of you nor to correct anyone, but the
article
that Darren quoted from on books sales is an article by Robyn Jackson,
from
Copyright 2003............ Seven years ago. I thought the facts were
rather odd
and out of date, since no one listens to 3 hours of radio anymore, not
even old
me with my oldies, since everyone is on their ipod. If I see someone with
a CD
player attached to their arm it's only because they're running along the
lake,
and most have switched to ipods, and most people barely watch 4 hours of
TV
anymore. It didn't give any stats on computer use since 7 years ago not
everyone
had one.
The article from University of Dayton: Erma Bombeck's Writer's
Workshop, is sorely outdated, since Erma, rest her soul has been "Dead"
since
April 22, 1996.................................
I'm sure the book stats
have changed, but with the computer and internet, which that ancient 2003
article Didn't even mention is where most people get their news these days
(I
haven't bought a newspaper in two years) and people read more online or
with
their kindle or their ipad than a real book. Then Darren's point is valid
that
books just don't sell like they used to unless someone is lying on a beach
on
vacation or takes one into a restaurant or coffee shop or on the train or
bus
going to work. Believe me, I live in downtown Chicago and I get a warm
soft spot
in my heart when I actually see someone with a book going to work or
someplace.
I love the smell of a book, nothing like that, brings back grade school,
simpler
times I guess. Everyone else is on their iphone or Crackberry reading,
texting
and web surfing.
Don't feel bad Darren, you were making a good point, and
James, don't give up, there are ebooks and you may try that route with
your book
through an online publisher.
I wish you both the best.
Brian
