Editorial
In the third issue of Shelf Life we explored some of the future technology which it is claimed would tranform the reading experience. The first digital reader is just coming on to the market and in this issue we take a look at what this might mean and also explore how new technology in printing will affect the publishing industry.

Featured Genre
Britain has long had a fascination with ancient Greece and Rome, indeed those ancient languages were once the cornerstone of our education. Although that may no longer be the case, that fascination manifests itself today through the popularity of historical novels with classical settings.
In this issue we profile some of the best of these novels which are available through your local library.
