Digital Book World 2011 did a series of video interviews with various publishers. This one is with Dominique Raccah, CEO Sourcebooks. She talks about lots of current publishing stuff, including how the big guys are getting left in the dust, digitally. Links to other interviews available on the site.

Interesting interview with CEO of Sourcebooks
Very interesting Faith- thanks! I've met Dominique a couple of times when she's been in the UK and she is a lovely warm person - hugely enthusiastic and a pragmatic visionary - and a dynamo!

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

What she said about 'discovery' -- by which, in this context, she meant people finding out about a book -- got me to thinking. She mentioned 'social reading' -- I'm assuming this forum fits that term. (A lot of these terms are so new to me, I have to guess from context)
So a question popped into my mind for readers of this forum: think of the last HF book you read (not counting re-reads). How did you 'discover' that book?
Hmm--this needs a poll. I'm going to go see if I can figure out how to set one up.
