“Print publishing has had a great 500 year run,” says 77 year old novelist Warren Adler, “but the print book is morphing into the screen book.” Mr. Adler, who has published 27 print novels including “War of the Roses,” is publishing his 28th, “Death of A Washington Madame,” electronically and e-mailing it for free to anyone who asks.
In an article in Sunday’s New York Times, he tells reporter Claudia Deutsch that, “the big publishing houses just don’t get it.” So Mr. Adler has taken matters into his own hands. According to the official Warren Adler website, he has:

required the English language and foreign rights to his entire backlist of 25 novels and has made them available in ebook formats and Print-on-Demand formats in trade and hardcover. They are available on the web through all bookselling sites and can be ordered through chain and independent bookstores.
