Caught With His Pants Down

“A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay

The Ooligan Way

May 24, ’10 9:42 PM

Ooligan Press is a teaching press staffed by students at Portland State University. They participate in an apprenticeship program under the guidance of a core faculty of publishing professionals.

As part of their education, they learn about sustainable publishing practices. They put that knowledge to good use by producing, Rethinking Paper and Ink: The Sustainable Publishing Revolution. This was the first book in their Open Book Series. All of the books in the series will have an environmental audit showing the choices they made toward sustainable publishing.

The entire book is available for free as a pdf download on their site. I urge you to read it and pass it along to your colleagues in the publishing profession.

Duck, duck, go…

Ducks in a rowWelcome to IKE. Our crackerjack staff (that’s me) is “ramping up” (I really hate that phrase, but isn’t that how the big boys talk?) to bring you the finest publishing/book business blog this side (west) of the Hudson.

IKE is here to show you that publishing exists (and thrives) in states that are newer than York. Call us Newer Yorkers. (On second thought, maybe that’s not a good idea). Call us independent, or alternative, or spunky (uh, maybe not spunky), but, don’t call us collect or late for dinner.

Give us (that’s me, again) a chance to “get our ducks all in a row” and figure out how this blog thingy works and you can bet your bottom dollar (or even some of your middle dollars) that you’ll be in for a rootin’, tootin’ good time.
