Notes from far and wide:
- Penguin’s campaign of standardized, retro covers was a hit with book buyers Down Under.
- Two brave and hardy souls have set out to read every book in the New Canadian Library.
- Hey, Westwood agent Hilary McMahon had her home featured on one of those decorating TV shows!
- Russell Smith marvels at the enduring popularity of reading, and then suggests it’s because movies like The Dark Knight are so terrible. Not sure that theory holds up under scrutiny, but nonetheless, he’s right about The Dark Knight.
- That phony Holocaust memoir might get released after all – as a novel.
The link in the sentence “Two brave and hardy souls have set out to read every book in the New Canadian Library.” doesn’t link to anything to do with reading every book in the New Canadian Library (at least as far as I could find).
