As reported by TIME magazine, June 7, 2010 and as originally reported in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"I think that book publishing is about to slide into the sea. We live in a literate time, and our children are writing up a storm, often combining letters and numerals (U R 2 Wonderful)... the future of publishing: 18 million authors in America, each with an average of 14 readers, eight of whom are blood relatives. Average annual earnings: $1.75" - Garrison Keillor
