The Changing World of Publishing and Reading An Author’s View of the Fast-Evolving Universe of the Written Word Author and columnist James McGrath Morris will speak about the future of books and reading on July 31 at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall at St. John’s College. Tickets are $7.50 and available through Tickets Santa Fe, the community box office at the Lensic Theater, 988-1234. Morris will outline the seismic changes shaking up the world of book publishing and reading. “What is happening to books today is as important a moment in history as five centuries ago when Gutenberg created movable type and launched the printing revolution,” said Morris. “The changes now taking place are more than a matter of replacing type, ink and paper with pixels — a profound shift is taking place in the act of reading itself.” St. John’s College and the Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library are pleased to co-sponsor this event as part of their respective anniversary celebrations. jamesmcgrathmorris/
