Bookbub has an important article on how independent
bookstores deal with the Covid19 crisis.
A bookstore in Brooklyn NY offers free delivery online, and
a cookbook author delivers her own craft on a bike in Greenwich Village.
Of course the spoiler question would be, why not just order
from Amazon or BN (and most books are there) or download to a Kindle (the
fastest).
One idea that comes to mind is to wonder whether Booktube conferences could be done online with
participants meeting from home. Booktube
is a collection of “You Tune Original” channels (somewhat curated by YouTube as
credible) of people who make videos about important new books, and it can be a
way to have an online booksigning party.
On Feb 7 I included a video where John Fish (Canada) and others
interview Bryan Stevenson. Maybe we could
set up more events like these strictly online, even internationally.
