With knowledge doubling every 16 months (even faster in some new industries), the traditional Gutenberg-format book pipeline is too slow. Traditional books usually take a year from writing to distribution. QuasiBooks, a concept created by Canadian literary icon John Robert Colombo, go from germination to distribution within weeks. For the two-thirds of North Americans who prefer conventional print to surfing the crests of cyberspace, Dispatches From Cyberspace is the way to get your vital information direct from the reconnaissance squad on the front lines. Well before the Communications Age, World War I provided a similar new format with information written by war correspondents in the trenches and transmitted by telegraph -- titled Dispatches From the Front. Now Dispatches From Cyberspace offers the latest developments. The battle has turned from the physical to the economic. Every innovation, every marriage of technologies and every major speedup or compression of earlier developments, has the potential to change the world -- and to create millionaires or techno peasants in nanoseconds. QuasiBook format, 5.5" x 8.5", typeset, instaprint, cerlox-bound. The Beyond Series: 1. Beyond Technology ISBN 1-896308-98-8. 56 pages.

In times of rising paper and print costs, Qbooks can be produced quickly and cheaply. In our rapidly changing world close to the cutting edge content becomes more valuable than packaging. Qbooks fill a market demand for the familiar Gutenberg-format. Not much to look at on a shelf, but quick information at magazine cost to help people keep up. Dr. Tomorrow's Qbooks -- The Beyond Series & The Plus Series -- are available as a 10 Book set, and also Include two 'Toys', A Soleday Photonic Toothbrush, and a pair of Lax-Optic Eye Glasses . The Entire 20 Qbook Set -- The Beyond
Series, Plus Series, Future Series, and Forcast Series -- also includes
the Nippon Dynamo Self-Powered Radio, a C$50 retail value!
