AOL's Book Maven

I love this, and just had to share: yesterday my boss Jennie Baird, director of AOL Coaches and I attended the Publisher's Advertising and Marketing Association (PAMA) luncheon, where Brian Murray of HarperCollins gave a presentation about books and digitization.

When Brian neared the end of his talk, a slide appeared titled "The Future of the Book."

You could almost hear the collective intake of breath. Would he reveal the whereabouts of the Holy Grail? Or, even more difficult: Solve the problems of publishing?

The next slide: an enormous question mark.

Thank goodness someone in the book business still has a sense of humor, Brian...
