BookNotes Guest Editors
I'm pleased to introduce BookNotes Guest Editors:
Andrea and Gary have both agreed to help me keep BookNotes running while my daughter and I are on our trip to Germany. I'll be seeing Andrea and her partner, André in Koblenz in a couple of days. (Maybe Andrea will have something to say about our meeting.) I encourage all BookNotes readers to also check out Andrea's and Gary's websites. Andrea, who is well on her way to being famous, is editor of Andrea's Weblog. Gary, is the deep thinker and brains behind the Future of the Book website. My thanks to both Andrea and Gary for helping out. I know I am leaving BookNotes readers in very good hands. I'll be back in eleven days with lots to share. See ya'll later!
PS: This is a picture of my daugther Leigh Ann and me.
PPS: Both guest editors are very busy people. Please be patient if postings are late or a day gets skipped. But do check back often, aside from being busy, Gary and Andrea are also very interesting people and there should be some surprises as a result!

I was asking the other day what comes after postmodern. Maybe I should find out what postmodern is before I worry about what comes next. POSTMODERN culture seems like a pretty good place to start.
