The Digital Revolution in Publishing

Very well researched (over 20 years of compiled interviews and data) 
I appreciated the graphs and numbers worked in and I was actually able to digest the statistics within Thomason’s writing and explanation which I personally am not usually very capable of 
A bit repetitive; this is sort of necessary within research and I realize that but there was over-summarization that I think could have been filtered out of the book version and perhaps left for an academic paper or unabridged version for those who want the full deep dive 
A good mix of the specific timeline of digital publishing histories as well as interesting tidbits about the history of printing, orality and overall written communication 
Also an interesting delve into social structures and how the ways that we communicate change so drastically over time
