MySpace enters book world

MySpace is getting into the book business, notes the Associated Press. "The online social network, an increasingly popular venue for authors, booksellers and publishers, is collaborating with a children's imprint of HarperCollins on an environmental handbook coming out April 22, Earth Day."

"MySpace has entire online communities, such as the Impact Channel and OurPlanet, dedicated solely to environmental and social causes," Tom Anderson, co-founder and president of MySpace, said in a statement. "The first MySpace book is just one more way we are working to engage the MySpace community in environmental issues and encourage people to take action." "How great it is to launch a partnership with a company with as large an influence as MySpace on such an important topic," Jane Friedman, President and CEO of HarperCollins, said Wednesday in a statement.
