In his call for Your five-minute manifesto for FutureBook, The Bookseller editor Philip Jones wrote that part of the planning of our FutureBook Conference this year (4th December at The Mermaid) is "to take this recent history of the book business and reflect on the job still to do." To that end, he made a call for submissions: we want your manifesto for the future of the book business. Details of how to get it to us are below. Our first response comes from the author Diana Kimpton and it's a deft example of Jones' interest in "a series of ideas, proposals and/or rules to help the business evolve digitally, or change a current direction...challenge conventions, and lock horns with received wisdom." We're glad to present Kimpton's manifesto here and hope you'll consider sending us one. -- Porter Anderson
