I just read about Shaun Tan this weekend and immediately went to order his books. In this case (and others like it), the iPad just won’t do.

I don’t disagree with that at all. And we here at DGLM have always been open to new approaches and formats, and have quite aggressively been pursuing them.

I’m just having my old-fuddy-duddy moment. I’m sure in the near term I’ll find that product that convinces me that the tablet is as good as my beautiful copy of X’ED OUT.

Strongly too. As an author of an illustrated book — Brooches: Timeless Adornment — having my book published in an e-book format would give the book another life and frankly, the images that we (the incomparable photographer David Behl and myself) worked so hard to create could have an even greater impact in this format. With all the dimensionality that the internet provides, just imagine how illustrated ebooks could be presented — these could bring the reader right into the image, together along with the text. It’s a way to experience books that could never have been done before. I love my coffee table books too. It’s just that, given the power of technology now, I think we need to broaden our perspectives to embrace books in ways that had never been considered before. It would benefit the industry as a whole and even create new avenues for authors, books designers, graphic designer, and publishers. This is important given all the somber news coming out publishing today. We’ve got to be innovative as the world marches on technologically.
