Print Is Dead

Jeff Gomez wrote an important book at exactly the right moment — 2007, when the digital publishing disruption was real but its shape was still unclear — and multiple serious outlets (Literary Review, PopMatters, Publishing Research Quarterly) confirmed he did it well. Read today it's primarily a historical document: print has not died, and some predictions are dated, but the core argument about publishers needing to actively drive digital transformation rather than resist it was right and well-argued. For anyone interested in publishing history or media disruption, it's worth reading as a sharp artifact of that transition.
