Do blogs make good books?

Let go of your mouse, step away from your laptop. The publishing world has recently discovered this new-fangled thing called the internet, and a flurry of web-to-print publications are making it possible for you to read popular blogs and websites offline, in the deeply old-skool form of books. With the music industry’s near-fatal clash with the web casting an ominous shadow, publishers are determined not to make the same mistakes. They’re plugging into the potential of the web in a spirit of inventiveness and enthusiasm – none more so than web-to-print publisher The Friday Project, whose new imprint Friday Fiction will launch in June 2007 with the publication of Caroline Smailes’ debut novel In Search of Adam.
