Picnics, barbecues, parades and gatherings with family and friends are on the minds of many of us here in North America. It’s a long weekend here in Canada this weekend and in the USA next weekend as we celebrate Canada Day and the 4th of July respectively. Whether you’re in North America or reading this from afar, I hope you’re able to find some time to read this week’s selection of articles.
And, don’t forget that you have until midnight to submit your ebook cover to our e-Book Cover Design Awards contest for June.
