- Book Fox (vulpes libris): a small bibliovorous mammal of overactive imagination and uncommonly large bookshop expenses. Book foxes live in a wide variety of habitats, and usually find something to read in the unlikeliest places. They tend to hunt alone but often gather in packs to discuss their prey.

EBOOK FORTNIGHT: WEEK TWO
On Monday, a welcome guest post from Catherine Czerkawska, who introduces us to a whole menagerie of threats and opportunities in UK publishing, in Weeping crocodiles, little pigs and big bad wolves.
Lisa’s suggested description of Tuesday’s piece was ‘Lisa waffles on and on about stuff’ – which has the virtue of pithiness in its favour, but perhaps lacks something in the way of information – so try this: We republish Emily Gale’s terrific recent interview with Book Fox Lisa, wherein she talks about snakes, beaches and e-publishing.
Wednesday finds RosyB taking a wide-ranging look at some of the issues surrounding ebooks - from covers and content to giveaways and gatekeepers.
On Thursday we welcome the Coffee Crew, aka authors Phillipa Ashley, Elizabeth Hanbury and Nell Dixon, who, as well as telling us their inspirational story, reflect on eBooks - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
And finally, Lisa brings eBook Fortnight to a close on Friday with a search for some of the best, brightest (and cheapest) e-books on the market.
