The 2010 Audies® were awarded at the end of last month. Nelson Mandela's African Folktales took Audiobook of the Year. It was not that much of a surprise given the star ensemble cast that narrated the audio book. We updated our list of Audies® 2010 Winners and Nominees from our catalog.

This kind of thinking is what leaves us in the same place and not moving forward whether it be in the publishing business in general or the audio book industry itself.
