Phil Gyford:
I was reading about the composer Burt Bacharach and was intrigued that his father, Bert, was an authority on fashion. And I bought his book from 1955.

“ When publishers appear to love their own books so little, when they’re apparently happy to pass off a print-on-demand photocopy of a book as a full-price volume, it’s hard for the reader in turn to feel much love for these gradually disappearing objects. I want to love books, but if the publisher treats them merely as interchangeable units, where the details don’t matter so long as the bits, the “content”, is conveyed as cheaply as possible, then we may be falling out of love. ”

“ What’s more depressing: The bored inanity of the Newsnight interview? That an event this unimportant is reported by the Guardian? Or the Guardian’s relentlessly anti-Twitter commenters? Tough call. ”
Phil Gyford’s comment on his bookmark of the Guardian’s transcript of Evan Williams of Twitter on Newsnight.
