It’s fall. The book fairs have everyone scrambling to buy rights to the next big book. You, the editor, want to buy something great before yearend, something that will make the publisher think you’re a genius. But before you come running into the boardroom screaming eureka, make sure you have facts to go with that [...]]]></description>

We at BookNet Canada talk a lot about metadata, sometimes ad nauseam. Accurate and thorough metadata is the best way for consumers to find out about a publisher’s book online.

Well, maybe Aldous Huxley didn&#8217;t when he wrote The Perennial Philosophy but most people think gardening. I don&#8217;t know a lot about gardening and I know less about perennial philosophy, but I do know perennials vs. annuals. Perennials come up year after [...]]]></description>

The problem is we don&#8217;t really know what is solid enough to hold onto. Is a vending machine solid enough? The reason I am thinking this right [...]]]></description>
