At F+W, you went from managing a magazine to managing books. Was that a difficult transition?

Not at all, though I suspect my experience is unique. F+W is more like a media company that parcels out its content in different formats and packages, across a variety of niche audiences (in my case, writers). So I worked for Writer’s Digest magazine for a while, then moved to Writer’s Digest Books, which is really the same kind of game, with a lot of the same players. It also helped that I had previous experience in the book division before moving to Writer’s Digest magazine. But F+W editors often move between the magazine and book division successfully.

1. Books are consistently lovable (unlike CDs).

2. With e-book readers, you do not already own e-books to load on it. (Contrast with iPod where you already own the music.)

3. People don't buy that many books to begin with.

4. Book lovers are late adaptors of new tech.

5. People will waste time on their iPods rather than reading on some other device.
   
   

This is the single best zombie read I have laid my eyes on this year and sure to show up in my picks for best original graphic novel of the year. The book does a phenomenal job of going into the mind of a zombie and does so in a creative and wholly new and imaginative way. If you have a taste for horror, this quirky little book is for you. But if you're a zombie fiend like myself, you should make it your single minded goal to seek out this book and digest then savor it. It's a true gem of a book for those with a taste for the macabre.

I'm the guy who has been reading Aint It Cool every day for about 10 years now, and I saw this review this morning by just going to their site.  CRAZY!!!!!  I bawled like a baby and called my wife.  It's like I'm in a dream.
