Books and the people who love them

Despite the dominance of digital options, there are still people who prefer to curl up with an old fashioned book printed on paper. It never needs charging and it still works when the power is out. And the power of the printed word is the focus of 'Atlantic Books Today'. For the last 30 years, the magazine has been featuring regional books that shine a spotlight on burning issues. And for their 30th edition, they are focusing on environmental literature. Chris Benjamin may be moving on from his role as editor, but he says the book industry in the region is in a good place. This edition of the magazine also includes an expanded digital edition featuring author interviews and a transcript of Sheldon MacLeod's conversation with Talk Show host and author Rick Howe.
