  1. Thank you very much! Yesterday’s talk was very interesting, to say the least!

    I was wondering if you know about punctumbooks.com. I wanted to ask you about it, but some others had a louder voice perhaps. (I am who asked about the blogger vs. wordpress platforms).

  2. Hi Ana! Nice to hear from you! Unfortunately, I don’t know a ton about Punctum Books, except that they seem to be well-respected among people who care about open access. Sorry I don’t have more information for you!
