Priced at a very reasonable £25 - the book delves into the fascinating world of the distribution channel, and informs the reader how best to capitalise on the industry, along with plenty of factoids and figures. What Informer finds amazing is the fact that someone has sat down and poured hours and hours of work into a book on distribution. It would be very interesting to find out if anyone is actually going to purchase this book and at least give the poor author some reward for all their hard work. </p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.channelweb.co.uk/c/554/f/8236/s/1b1d9b4/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/08/read-the-book-g.html&link=Read the book, got the T-shirt" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/08/read-the-book-g.html&link=Read the book, got the T-shirt" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/16404324671/f/8236/c/554/s/28432820/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/16404324671/f/8236/c/554/s/28432820/a2.img" border="0"/></a>Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:07:57 GMThttp://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/08/read-the-book-g.html2008-08-19T14:07:57ZAll quiethttp://feeds.channelweb.co.uk/c/554/f/8236/s/1a8ed5e/story01.htm<p>Industry gossip is a little scarce at the moment - probably because everyone is taking a well earned holiday or break from work.

]]>Communication is backhttp://feeds.channelweb.co.uk/c/554/f/8236/s/12d8267/story01.htm<p>Thanks to a recent installation by distributor Zycomm, staff at amusement park Alton Towers can now enjoy effective communication using handheld radios - which means they can talk to each other from one end of the park to the other. Hopefully the staff have improved their communication skills since the last time Channel Informer visited (admittedly about nine years ago) - the odd grunt and bored glance in response to a question of 'should children that age be allowed on this ride' hardly filled one with confidence. </p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.channelweb.co.uk/c/554/f/8236/s/12d8267/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/06/communication-i.html&link=Communication is back" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/06/communication-i.html&link=Communication is back" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/10104127963/f/8236/c/554/s/19759719/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/10104127963/f/8236/c/554/s/19759719/a2.img" border="0"/></a>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:16:50 GMThttp://informer.channelweb.co.uk/2008/06/communication-i.htmlNew news?http://feeds.channelweb.co.uk/c/554/f/8236/s/127c933/story01.htm<p>There is breaking news out apparently that Ingram has recently signed a distribution agreement with SonicWall.
