Publisher's Weekly 11/12/12

These are notes for myself. They are essentially the books I thought looked interesting from a collection development ptv for the Pub Weekly 11/12/12. There are also some things I note that I just want to be aware of, sort of trending topics of interest to me. Will I do this for every Pub Weekly I come across? Possibly.

E-comics:

• iPad- Dim Sum Warriors (Yumcha Studios)
• iPad only: King Fu Guide to Romance
• iPad only: Stir Fried Detective

Does overdrive have comics?- Yes, but they are simple ePub files and not formatted for comics display the way a comics app will format and display. And the one that I tested for download to my mobile reader (Android) does not allow wireless download. I have to first download it to the computer and then transfer it to my device. (LAME!)
