"As a retail book seller, executive, advocate for libraries and literacy, author, and entrepreneur, Tim Coates has devoted his four-decade career to promoting his love of books and reading.
Editor and author of 30 books, blogger, former managing director/CEO of retail book sellers Sherratt & Hughes and Waterstone's in England and of the English book chain WHSmith in Europe and proprietor of his own book store, Tim is chairman, founder and visionary for
www.Bilbary.com, an e-book retail and lending site in mid-stage development.
Tim’s vision for Bilbary is to create a site exclusively for e-book lending and retail sales that is easy to navigate, accessible to any Internet-connected device and a forum for readers to discuss books and authors. Bilbary is also designed to enable libraries to have greater access to the growing number of published e-books. Conceived amid the turmoil of the rapidly changing publishing business and the rise of e-book popularity."
I've kind of followed this gentleman's career with great interest - it all started when I first went into a bookshop with a sofa !
An original mind, not afraid to think outside the box.
I hope you are successful, Tim, and I'll be there when the UK site opens....
In fact, have some K !!
