A Question! Would you prefer e-book or print book?


"Always for Judy" book update:  Rejoice in the Joy and Genius of Judy Garland! 


Judy so loved singing "Swanee"

A question!  Would you buy an e-book or print book?

Our Town Hall Book Publishing Group had a consultation recently with Joel Friedlander, an expert in the field of book design. Joel was amazing and managed to spot and give constructive criticism to our various projects—and they are varied!

In the case of some of these books, he wondered how they would be marketed, but he did not have any concerns about my Judy book. He thought it looked worthwhile and I should publish. Joel had an excellent eye and gave me some formatting suggestions, which I have implemented. He did feel I needed a good cover design—which I am researching now. I love this photograph--

We discussed the merits of e-books as opposed to print books and Joel pointed out how quickly an e-book could get out to market. In addition, there were fewer expenses involved for everyone.   So my question for everyone is—what are your feelings about this subject. Would you buy an e-book?   


Happy Holidays to everyone!!
