| What’s hot and cooking in scholarly publishing?
|
The best conversations at a party always seem to happen in the kitchen. Hence, when looking for a new way to keep society members current with the latest happenings in the market, Editor and Founder of the Scholarly Society, Kent Anderson started "The Scholarly Kitchen Blog". 11 years later, the blog features 23 regular authors including publishers, librarians, publishing consultants, executives from various not-for-profit organisations in the publishing sphere, and representatives from research societies. We talked to David Crotty, Executive Editor of The Scholarly Kitchen about the second micro- conference "Food for Thought with SSP and The Scholarly Kitchen" to take place at Frankfurter Buchmesse on Wednesday, 16 October 2019. Mark your calendars!

| "Georgia Made by Characters" – a stunning presentation
|
|

|
| Mystic lights and spiritual music welcomed visitors to the Georgian Pavilion at the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2018. The hustle and bustle of the fair seemed far away in the calming atmosphere surrounding the 33 filigree wooden sculptures of the Georgian alphabet. Each of the letters enclosed stories and video installations. Wandering through the maze, visitors soon found themselves browsing one of the hidden bookshelves… მშვიდობით Georgia – it’s been a good one!
