Back from their respective vacations, Chad and Tom talk about PBS's "Great American Read," the NEA's "Big Read," building a sustainable publishing model that puts readers first, the attempt to address the direct-to-consumer discount problem, books that they've recently read, and ones Tom refuses to stock. Tom also discloses his favorite publisher, and Chad has a revelation about all the books he's read this year. It's a very grounded episode, with no real rants, and lots of good information. This episode's music is "Angeline" by Rayland Baxter. As always, feel free to send any and all comments or questions to: [email protected].
