The Newest ‘electronica’ May Be The Classic Books Of Old.
If you think selling electronic copies of John Milton’s Areopagitica over the Internet doesn’t exactly sound like a money-making proposition, you haven’t talked to Patrick Ames of Octavo Editions.
Ames, 44, is CEO of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based publisher of great books, reproduced in facsimile on CD-ROM and sold online. In an online industry increasingly given to the mega-merger (witness USA Networks’ plan to buy Lycos), Octavo is evidence the Internet is still full of micro-niches–ones that may make money, in fact.
