You Know, Apart from Michael Lewis

There’s Another Ed

Posted on January 11, 2009 by dmoynihan

Originally titled “Be Careful How You Live,” but the cover for that one was generic.  If it makes anyone feel better, I keep typing its title as “Be Careful How You Life”–so the trend of mussed Lacy titles remains unbroken. … Continue reading →

Blood and Football

Posted on January 6, 2009 by dmoynihan

There it is. Fine.  Enjoy.  I guess Sorcerer is next.  Grumble. Grumble.  Grumble.  But I ain’t buying Vampir ($350) until I see at least one Createspace sale of one of these.  Grumble. (By comparison, Disruptive Publishing will shortly be doubling … Continue reading →

Posted on November 2, 2008 by dmoynihan

The “Penguin Editor” who hated Pennyworth is in fact a “Holt Editor”–which makes it all more interesting.  But no additionial gossip.  Today was insane, and I didn’t talk to any of my boothmates until the last 20 minutes, when I … Continue reading →

Notes from the TX Book Festival

Posted on November 1, 2008 by dmoynihan

In no particular order.  I was so beat after today’s show that I crashed for four hours, watched the rest of the game from my hotel, and, daylight savings time or no, didn’t go to the bars.  We’re all wondering … Continue reading →

Yesterday’s Books

Posted on September 30, 2008 by dmoynihan

Uh, a little goofy.  Just a smidge.  I don’t want to mess with the dates though. Elsewhere, having seen Mr. Flacco play, we at Disruptive Publishing are revising our end-of-the-year Ravens record prediction to: 8-8. /Pretty weak division, and we … Continue reading →

Well No, I Don’t Have a Voice Anymore

Posted on September 21, 2008 by dmoynihan

In fact, it was the loudest I’ve heard Ravens Stadium since a playoff game against Indiana a couple years ago… back when Indy won the Super Bowl.  (: I suspect Ray Lewis’ hit on Kellen Winslow will make the NFL’s … Continue reading →

Geeze, If Even Self-Reported Stats Are Inaccurate, Who Can Ya Trust?

Posted on March 25, 2008 by dmoynihan

So, whatever’s left of the IDPF is reporting that Ebook sales are up 24% in January.  Numbers are from… people… kinda… vaguely.  At least 12 of ‘em.  And, like the IDPF’s annual reports, not exactly verifiable. Whatever, here’s my question: … Continue reading →

34 Kindles Sold Today

Posted on February 6, 2008 by dmoynihan

Average price around $460.  Lowest was $403.  Sellers have inventory, aren’t setting buy-it-nows, and the market’s responding. 3 Sony Readers sold, “… worldwide shipping” and maybe try installing Russian fonts. I don’t think Sony’s going to be at the O’Reilly … Continue reading →
