In the summer of 1994 Duthie Books launched "The Virtual Bookstore." The site also contained information on Duthie Bookstores and an electronic version of The Reader. The site was located on the server at Wimsey Information Systems (now Istar). In the summer of 1995 the new Literascape site went public on its own server and began to host The Publisher's Showcase and Macneill Library Service, as well as several pages of writer events, awards listings and literary links. Now in its third major revision, the site experiences approximately 500 visitors a day.
