Documentary Video - EPILOGUE: The Future of Print and eBooks
February 20th, 2013
Presented here, for your viewing pleasure, is this very excellent student documentary project that was completed in April 2012. It’s titled, “EPILOGUE: The Future of Print”, and it shares quite a bit to think about when thinking about the value of books published on paper, real books, verses the effects of modern day eBooks. It also shares some important thoughts about Bookstores and the human touch of actual Book Sellers.

The HARVARD BOOK STORE is thrilled to welcome graphic novelists CHARLES BURNS and CHRIS WARE and writer and graphic designer CHIP KIDD for a panel discussion on graphic novels.
The authors will also discuss Charles Burns’s new book, The Hive, and Chris Ware’s new book, Building Stories.
The event takes place Thursday, October 11th, 2012 at 6:00 PM at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Tickets are $5.00 and on sale now. For more information, CLICK HERE!
"The Hive is a tour-de-force of psychedelic storytelling, an astonishing piece of graphic literature that combines strange characters, even stranger situations and locales, and multi-leveled narratives in a way you have never seen before on the page. Burns' work is utterly unique, and he has no fear about experimenting and trying to engage the reader in new ways. Perhaps his greatest gift is finding a way to make you find empathy for people and things that you would normally find off-putting or disgusting. Burns is one of the few talents who stands above the medium, and deservedly so. Easily one of the finest works you'll see this year." -Comics Waiting Room
“Chris Ware’s Building Stories is the rarest kind of brilliance; it is simultaneously heartbreaking, hilarious, shockingly intimate and deeply insightful. There isn’t a graphic artist alive or dead who has used the form this wonderfully to convey the passage of time, loneliness, longing, frustration or bliss. It is the reader’s choice where and how to begin this monumental work-the only regret you will have in starting it is knowing that it will end.” -J.J. Abrams
