“Lovers of print are simply confusing the plate for the food.”
― Douglas Adams

 

The color edition of Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury” is being published July 6 in a limited edition of 1,480 and is priced at $345. One thousand preordered copies have been sold. - All well and good but isn’t this what ebooks should be about? It shouldn’t take 14 different color inks and several hundred dollars to make Faulkner easier to understand, it should just take a Nook Color.
