A mouse, a jackass, and a monkey walk into a bookstore....
Well not really, but Lane Smith's latest book, It's a Book, features these three characters grappling with the ever-changing world of books and technology.
The publisher calls it "a delightful manifesto on behalf of print in the digital age" and it is a welcome addition to the p vs. e debate.
To celebrate the release of the book, Macmillan has created the first annual Unplug Day and is urging everyone on August 31st to "unplug. unwind. recharge. read a book!"

I love the book trailer. Very droll. I've yet to use an e-reader, but I'm not sure I can go a whole day without using my laptop. I know. How sad is that.
I'm in, too!
I actually still publish print books, and I'll never give them up. It is such a different experience than reading an ebook. You can curl up in a big chair, hang out on the bed with some big pillows under your arm, or read in the bathroom! For me, summer is for reading books, so I'm in, definitely!
