Strange Attractor Press will be at <a href="http://bookcamp.pbwiki.com/" target="_blank">Bookcamp 09</a> this Saturday, 17 January 2009. Come and say hello if you make it along.

<em>Bookcamp will consider the future of the Book as an object and examine its ongoing role as a delivery mechanism for stories, information and entertainment. Participants and self-selected guests will choose the agenda for the day, forming breakup groups to discuss and potentially create future book technologies.</em>

<em>Our plan is for this to be a day of talking and doing - examining the role of the book as an object and as a delivery mechanism for content. We're inviting authors, typographers, cover designers, printers, technologists, retailers, literary agents, publishers and geeks to come along and consider if and how technology can transform and perhaps improve on The Book. Will print on demand mean the end of the bookshop? Will ebook technology allow everyone to be their own publisher? Will printed books go the way of vinyl and become collectors objects? Are games the new novels? And does format matter or, to paraphrase Berry Gordy, is it what in the groove that counts?</em>
