Morning Coffee -17 August 2020
Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.
- The "Reclaim Her Name" project is re-publishing the works of 25 female authors who had been forced to use a male pseudonym.
- People are worried over the death of the used bookstore. I’m not, because the largest bookstore in my area is a used bookstore (it’s bigger than the B&N store, yes).
- The Guardian thinks 600 books being published in one day is a lot, bless their hearts.
- Texas libraries are banding together to negotiate better prices from extortionate journal publishers.
- A used bookstore owner a couple towns over from me has been accused of raiding Little Free Libraries.
- There’s an art exhibit in Genoa right now that focuses on imaginary languages.
- Trad Pub is loath to admit it, but the pandemic is boosting ebook and audiobook sales.

When will the Guardian discover the wonder of digital media? These articles are so sad, but not in the way they intend.

Golly the reclaim her name should also include Victor Català pseudonym for Caterina Albert i Paradí
O but that’s been known even in her lifetime.
