Yesterday Juan and Ken Ahonen-Jover's recommend of Mitchell Gold's book Crisis: 40 Stories points up the extreme importance of our supporting the LGBT book business. If not Gold's book, then consider giving some other title as a gift. Why the urgency? Because the book industry is in serious trouble. Recent news stories in Variety and other publications reveal what professionals in the biz have known for some time. Even Barnes & Noble and Borders are in trouble. Which means that niche book markets, like our own, are in big trouble too. We're being hit by everything from shoppers cutting back to readers reading less.
