Closing the Book on Our Missed Class

Juan Monroy Leave a comment

Because we cancelled last week’s class due to snow, here’s what we would have covered had we met.

Stage Innovation Form
Development Symbols and Paper Scrolls and Manuscripts
Entrepreneurial Printing Presses Early Books and Codices
Mass Market Industrialization Paperback Books
Convergence Electronic and Digital Media Publishing Conglomerates and Ebooks

Be sure to review the readings to get better understanding of the history of the book industry. Also, review our coverage of other print media, specifically as newspapers and magazines, as that material overlaps a great deal with the book industry.

Class Cancelled, February 13

Due to the snowstorm, our class has been cancelled.

Next week, we will discuss the book industry material and then quickly move on to the recorded music industry.

Do the assignment by next Thursday’s class, and also read the material. Although we usually don’t discuss the reading, the material could still be on the exam.

Stay vertical, everyone.
