Old schoolpublisher meets e-reader: chaos ensues There's a lotof good to be said about publishing, mainly about the food. The books, though -Robert Dubois feels as if he's read the books, but still they keep coming backto him, the same old books just by new authors. Maybe he's ready to settle intothe end of his career, like it's a tipsy afternoon after a working lunch. Butthen he is confronted with a gift: a piece of technology, a gizmo, areader... Dear Reader takes a wry,affectionate look at the world of publishing, books and authors, and is a veryfunny, moving story about the passing of the old and the excitement of the new.
