Textbooks have been my primary source for studying and learning this past year. They were a shining beacon of clarity in a world where it is becoming so hard to find reliable info. AI is untrustworthy. Search engines serve SEO garbage, and increasingly AI LLM generated articles dominate top results.

I shudder to think what the future will be like for people trying learn when LLM content starts creeping into textbook content. It's probably already happening. Coupled with the fact that libraries are under constant pressure from funding cuts, it's looking pretty bleak.

We have the seed vault in Svalbard. I think we need the same sort of thing, but for books and knowledge. Anna's Archive is probably the closest thing we have to this today.

I see BookVault has expanded to Australia. I liked their set up when I was researching which POD company to go with it, but being only US or UK based was an issue, I’ll look into them again now they’ve added Australia

If you're using #bookvault for direct sales, a tip:

you must assign a payment method for US, UK, and AU sales separately. They can all use the same card or fund, but you must set the per-country payment source.

Signed, "why are my overseas orders not being automatically fulfilled?!"

Something that a lot of #SelfPub #authors have been waiting for: #BookVault have announced that they can now supply #PrintOnDemand books in box sets and slipcases.

#Today is a busy one. I'm moving my usual handwritten to-do list into #Obsidian for a week. We'll see how that goes. There are site updates to perform, some site migrations to plan, a package to mail, and some #BookVault and #BookFunnel integrations to play with.

Oh, here's a rare #selfie.
