First Segment: OR Books. Colin Robinson, Co-Publisher.

OR Books is a new type of publishing company. It embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business. Our list is highly selective: we publish just one or two books a month, combining established authors with new discoveries. Our editorial standards are fastidious; our design clear and elegant. We employ exciting promotion with highly creative use of video and the Internet. To avoid the waste of unsold stock and returns, we produce our books only when they are wanted, either through print-on-demand or as platform-agnostic e-books.

Both Segments: Sandy Berger. Compukiss, Correspondent.

I am a geek from way back. I started off as a computer programmer some thirty-odd years ago. I was one of the few women in technology way back then, so I often take an different viewpoint on technology. Unlike many other technology journalists, I started off as a technology-lover and moved into journalism.

I have authored seven books about computers and technology and am working on the eighth. See the Great Age Books website for more info on my latest book series.
