Books & Books turns 30 and the party’s on them

Books & Books turns 30 and the party’s on them - Coral Gables - MiamiHerald.com: "Books & Books’ anniversary celebration this week includes a street party Saturday night in front of the flagship store on Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables complete with food provided by celebrity chefs, including Allen Susser, Michelle Bernstein and Norman Van Aken. Kaplan couldn’t predict 30 years ago that Books & Books would outgrow its original location in the Gables and survive 30 years later. But there was no other path for him. Books & Books, quite simply, had to succeed. “I made a decision early on to be in the book business because I love literary culture and all its aspects,” Kaplan says “I never thought of moving on to anything else so long as we are able to survive and the community supports us. So 30 years, in retrospect, makes sense.”"

Piwik Web Analytics Essentials [Book Review] - Analytics - Piwik
By adrian
A book about Piwik Analytics Piwik Web Analytics Essentials is probably the most accurate title one could give a book of this nature. What made this book a joy to read was author Stephan A. Miller's technical yet conversational style. It was a very rewarding read, especially considering Analytics can be a topic that can easily become dry and mind-numbing. I can honestly say it was one of the more enjoyable analytics books I have read in a long time. What I appreciate most is Stephan ...
