Last month Isaacs and I talked for an hour in her New York apartment, to which she kindly invited me. You’ll read this interview on page 19 and appreciate, as did I, her insights into how and why the book business is changing.
The experience reminds me that, sometimes, in our electronically connected world, we forget the value of face-to-face, of making an impression with a direct approach, a smile and a handshake. And while the efficiency of email is indisputable, it still doesn’t surpass the impact of looking someone in the eye and having one of those old-fashioned encounters called a conversation.
