“The Back Of The Napkin” author Dan Roam is hatching a new book titled “Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don’t Work”.

Being a graphics-oriented dude myself, I loved reading TBOTN. However, since I’m spoiled from buying Kindle books for $9.99, I’m gonna skip purchasing this one because I refuse to pay the $14.99 price that the publisher wants for the e-version. It makes BD00 wonder what the publisher-publishee split is from the sale of each unit.

I love the fact that self-publishing is on the rise and that sites like lulu.com are eating into dinosaur publishing house profits. The big pub house strategic plan may be to phase out the costly-to-produce physical versions of their books while jacking up the price for the non-touchable e-versions. For now at least, I’m not hoppin’ on that train.
