An interesting eBook, covering the history of the BBC Backstage project. I'm an ex-employee of the BBC, and was slightly involved with Backstage (more involved when working outside of the organisation than inside, it ought to be said).
This book is an interesting read; some of it kicking off some memories, and some of it teaching me new things.
There's a tendency for BBC employees and contributors to believe their own hype, and that creeps into this book. Reading it, you're left with a sense that BBC Backstage was a massive change for the corporation, kicking off a massive movement in the industry at large. It wasn't, by any stretch of the imagination (not wishing to belittle the contributions made); but since the whole purpose of this book is to celebrate what the now defunct project did, it's probably acceptable to have some hyperbole here.
A good historical read, therefore, if you're in the online or media world; and excellently transferred, as you might guess, into an eBook format. (I read the MOBI format on the Kindle).
