BookThink's Author Profiles
Celebrating the Book
An Interview with Nicholas Basbanes
If there were some of you who didn't know John Dunning
from Adam before BookThink did a profile on him (and
you subsequently devoured each of his books), I
predict that the same thing may happen if you haven't
read anything by the subject of this week's author
profile - Nicholas Basbanes. Basbanes is, in every
sense of the word, the book lover's champion. To
date, he's published five bestselling books about
books, and I haven't met one yet that wasn't
delightful, elegantly written, and illuminating. He's
recently put a sixth book to bed - Every Book Its
Reader: The Power of the Printed Word to Stir the
World - and Pamela Palmer caught up with him recently
to talk about this and other book matters.

Building A Book Website
Part I: Startup
Is there a website in your future? Catherine Petruccione begins a two-part series on building your own bookselling website. No doubt many booksellers contemplate doing this but put it off for various reasons ... cost, time and effort, etc. Catherine, however, has actually taken the plunge and details exactly how she did it. Surprisingly, thanks to many services that are now available to assist you in the process, it's not the Herculean task it once was.
