-- Quote(s) of the Day --
"692.3 million books reported by Nielson BookScan as being sold in 2007"
"80% of business is from 20% of the client base"
March is Small Press Month - in addition March 1st (yesterday) was World Book Day - and in honor of this I thought it would be appropriate to share these quotes with you today. I noted them while listening to radio interviews but neglected to make a note of the source, so I do apologize for that. However the information is vital to surviving and underlines the importance of finding a way to stand out in a crowd like a purle snowflake :)
People will notice that there are traditionally a lot of writer events - festivals, fairs, book signings, lectures - around this time of year. Keep an eye on your local publications to find out what is going on in your area in March.

Well Spring is certainly on its way - in fact Daylight Savings Time begins on March 8th - and the construction industry will be hitting the beginning of their peak season in North America. As such, I thought it would be interesting to discuss green building regulation.
According to the Japan for Sustainablility Newsletter: "Worldwide, many tools have been developed for evaluating buildings, including the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE) in Japan, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program in the United States, and the BRE Environmental Assessment Method, (BREEAM) in the U.K. For evaluating cities, however, tools are not as widely available as they are for buildings. There is a growing demand for tools to evaluate measures and activities on the scale of a city or society as a whole." – www.japanfs.org
