THE ROUNDUP from PW


Louis Zamperini Dies at 97: The inspiration for Laura Hillenbrand's "Unbroken," and the upcoming Angelina Jolie film, died following a case of pneumonia, according to a spokesperson for Universal Pictures.

Imagining a New Way to Read : Blind and visually impaired children will now be able to experience classic picture books like "Goodnight Moon" and "Harold and the Purple Crayon" with the help of 3D printing technology.

The 70's are Back : At least in book design. The vaguely disco, “All In the Family”–style curlicue is attaching itself to titles everywhere.

'Winds of Winter' Release Date?: George R.R. Martin’s next Song of Ice and Fire novel will be released in 2017. Or, at least, that’s what analysts have predicted in the absence of a "Winds of Winter" date.

Brooklyn Library Lacks Funds for Repairs: Brooklyn Public Library's central branch may be a staple for locals, a required destination for students, and a must-see for tourists, but a closer look will reveal that the circa-1940s building is in desperate need of repairs.
