		<title>JZ has got it down!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Making print books relevant in an increasingly “e” world is a challenge for our industry. I came across this marketing campaign for JZ’s recent title Decoded and I was really blown away. Talk about using social media to energize print sales… awesome!

		<title>The sweet smell of books . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this really neat art project in New York magazine and thought that people who read this BLOG or spend time with Thomson-Shore would get a kick out of it. What a fun idea! Read the comments as those are as entertaining as the “smelling of the books” http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2011/03/07/smelling-the-books#comments You can&#8217;t do this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[School is out and what does this mean? For my household is spells disaster for my wife in the form of idle teenagers who live in the country.

		<title>InkJet Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inkjet update for those who are watching this development in our industry. After talks (and testing) with all major suppliers of inkjet technologies I have gain some confidence in a few significant opinions: Initial capital costs from all inkjet suppliers is insane.

		<title>Inkjet! Inkjet. Inkjet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inkjet, inkjet, inkjet! Seems as inkjet is the only thing to talk about in the book printing community. I am as anxious as anyone is to see inkjet develop into the “golden technology” that everyone is predicting and in time I’m sure it will.

		<title>So many books . . . so little time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So many books… so little time. I ordered another book this morning. I didn’t need it as I have stacks of them waiting to be consumed at home.

		<description><![CDATA[Our material partners are sending signals and unfortunately setting the table for price increases in 2011. The paper mills have traditionally reduced capacity to keep paper prices high and have indicated potential increases in 2011. Cotton pricing world-wide is exploding (risen by 84% since July) and cotton products will be more expensive in 2011. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Books as Sport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had our first basketball game of the season last night. Thomson-Shore has played in the local Ann Arbor league for years and although we play with all our heart, we often come up short on the score board.
