A few things that have caught our eye and led us seductively in to a secluded corner of the Internet for an intense one-on-one:

• Bob Fischer, author of Wiffle Lever to Full!, is reliving 1984 day-by-day, through the diary entries of his eleven year-old self.  With the added commentary, this is a labour of love, and very enjoyable. It’s all on the Wiffle Lever blog.
• Nick Harkaway, author of The Gone-Away-World, has conducted an interview with fellow first-time novelist Charles Lambert which is worth a read, which is on his blog (and read the rest if you have time).
• Dorling Kindersley are seeking photographs of significant, unique and inspiring objects you might own or have access too – send in a photo and a short explanation of why the object is so special and you might see it in print. Competition closes on 28th January – check out www.allthisbook.com.
• On a more serious note, fellow geek George Walkley, Marketing Director at Little, Brown Book Group, has blogged the text of remarks he made about e-books and print-on-demand at a recent debate, clearly explaining the importance of storing book information in a platform-neutral way so it can be delivered to different formats, including some we probably don’t know about yet. What can I say, we’re geeks, we like stuff like this!
