books & wine
I was describing the controversy in the publishing world between POD books and offset printing to a friend, and she said, “Oh, it’s kind of like screw-on lids on wine.” She’s right. The purists may think corks are the best way to go–but it doesn’t make any difference to the final product. Maybe book lovers would disagree–there is a difference in quality. But it’s an interesting analogy.
