Alt-Right Activists Harass California Bookstore
A group of alt-right activists began harassing Revolution Books in Berkeley, California last month after a night in which they stormed the bookstore. Since then, they have staged a harassment campaign in which the store has been receiving more than 60 harassment phone calls a day and other online abuse. Store manager Reiko Redmonde said that the campaign will not jeopardize the store’s future: “We’re not going anywhere. We are needed now more than ever.”
Ric Burns to Direct Documentary about Oliver Sacks
If there is a Mount Rushmore of science writers, Oliver Sacks is certainly on it. His last book is being published posthumously this month, and we got news this week that a feature-length documentary about him called Oliver Sacks: His Own Life is in the making. The film is being produced by Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Productions and will draw from more than 80 hours of footage from the last months of Dr. Sacks’ life. This is going to be fascinating.
More than 750,000 Self-Published Books Appeared in 2016
Bowker has reported that more than 3/4 of a million self-published books were issued ISBNs last year (ISBNs are unique identifier numbers for books). This was 8% more than last year, and interestingly there were fewer ISBNs for ebooks with the gain coming exclusively from print books. Not to mention that selling digital copies of books directly doesn’t require ISBNs, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more than a million books self-published in total.
