Natalie Butz ‘12 explored whether eBooks have rendered print books obsolete and also took on the task of publishing her own work.
For my Cater project, I went through the complete process of making a physical book so I would have the knowledge necessary to answer the broader question of how changing technology is going to affect the publishing industry.
