Alice in Moose Jaw
The Alice series is part mystery, part nostalgia,
intergenerational considerations and international travel. Alice and her mother
Ming, embark on a journey to Canada to find out more about Alice’s great great
grandmother, Ying, who emigrated clandestinely from China in 1916 to a small
town called Moose Jaw. Rumour has it that great great granny Ying worked as a
messenger in the city’s tunnels for none other than Al Capone during the
prohibition era. Alice and her mum are dying to find out more about this
mysterious family member whose Chinese name means “clever”or “eagle”…

The Death of Print
Thanks again to #NMN COMM555 students for joining in last night for our live chat. It was such an interesting discussion.
When I saw this article, I thought of some of the things we talked about and wonder what you think?
Article is from The Digital Reader:

The Bookseller reported on Tuesday morning that a bookstore called "The University Bookseller, Plymouth" closed its doors for the last time on 18 December.
Originally opened in 1973, the store was part of an eclectic chain of bookstores owned by Ron Johns. The other stores will remain open, but this store has seen declining revenues over the past five years and is no longer profitable.
The owner reports that between the changes in the market, inadequate discounts, and publishers bypassing retailers to deal direct with universities, the store simply could no longer operate.
