All:
"The Last Days of Publishing", a novel by Tom Engelhardt, takes a close look at the publishing industry and the world of books and words.
Sadly, its central thesis that the world of the word is "ending" as we have gloriously known it, has been my conclusion for some time, based on my work both in publishing and in education.

Of course, there has always been a remedy: continue in our world of "alternative" publishing.
Long live "underground" magazines and newspapers!
