"We're defending the book world. Amazon and Borders and the like are destroying it.But we wouldn't want you recommending us to anyone anyhow."

How's that for public relations?

I would have thought that a reasonable response would have been something along the lines of "We have no plans to offer our books in electronic format, but we appreciate your interest and hope you will look at our offerings anyway."

But that's just me.

Holy Cow. I didn't know people like that existed. I would love to know his reasoning. How are they 'defending the book world'? I would laugh, but its so sad.
