Artists file lawsuits, seeking royalties
The New York Times
Share
   
When the taxi baron Robert Scull sold part of his art collection in a 1973 auction that helped inaugurate today's money-soused contemporary-art market, several artists watched the proceedings from a standing-room-only section in the back. There, Robert Rauschenberg saw his 1958 painting "Thaw," originally sold to Scull for $900, bring down the gavel at $85,000.

Nook Tablet vs. Kindle Fire: How the specs compare
Geek.com
Share
The Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire are strikingly similar in terms of dimensions. The Kindle Fire is a pinch smaller and thinner, but not by a lot. Interestingly, the Nook Tablet is actually a bit lighter — 14.1 ounces to the Fire's 14.6. This could be due to the plastic used for the bezel. That little hook on the corner may help shave off those fractions of an ounce too.

True 'do-it-yourself' publishing success stories will probably become rare
The Shatzkin Files (blog)
Share
Getting ready for the eBooks for Everyone Else conferences, blogger Mike Shatzkin discovered an author named Bob Mayer who impressed with his self-publishing zeal and apparent success. Mayer has written
lots of military fiction, science fiction, even a romance novel and some non-fiction: dozens of books over the years for major publishers. Most of it was mass market, most of it reverted relatively easily and he systematically secured those rights reversions for years.

"House" for "horse." The number 1 for the letter l. Strange, random characters where accented characters should be. If you read e-books, you've seen mistakes like these, and more. Most are mildly
distracting. But at times, the mistakes get so bad that readers have to stop and back up and reread a passage in order to make sense of it.

Borders plan proposes $36 million for Random House
Paid Content
Share
The fourth largest unsecured creditor from the Borders bankruptcy appears set to fare well if a judge approves a new payment proposal. In a court filing, the bankrupt bookseller and Random House proposed a plan that would give the publisher $36.4 million — less than $1 million short of the $37.2 million it had been seeking. The plan appears to represent good news for Random House, which is an unsecured creditor.
Unsecured creditors are often left with little or nothing after a bankruptcy filing.

Your story can change the world
David Farland (blog)
Share
Few people would argue that stories are unimportant to us. Humans are wired to communicate perhaps more than any other animal on earth. (Whales and dolphins seem to need to talk almost as much as we do.) If we aren't talking, we are listening. Not only is our personal survival tied to gaining information from others, our emotional health is tied to it, too. Tests have shown that children raised in total isolation die from failure
to thrive.

Comparing own-root container grown roses with field-grown budded roses
Fine Gardening
Share
The reason roses are being grown more as own-root roses has a lot to do to with the difficulty in finding skilled budders and the costs of caring for those roses in a field for two years. Skilled rose
budders are getting harder and harder to find. If you have never seen anyone bud roses in a field, it is back breaking work.
