@booksquare especially when pubs (like RH in particular) are pushing contract changes to lock in digital almost in perpetuity. Not cool. |
@booksquare @susan_marie there's a better neighborhood sushi place I can take you to on your next respective NY trips. Deal? |
@booksquare well obviously. There's no incentive for publishers to do so unless hardcover revenues completely disappear and even then, no. |
verdict on new neighborhood sushi place: yellowtail good, spicy tuna/salmon/yellowtail good, regular fish meh. |
@susan_marie good questions! I think because hardcover will end up going the way of the dodo, except maybe in YA. So why not realign model? |
weird thought of the night: if readers prefer trade paperback to hardcover, why is there no move to bump up royalty rates for trade paper? |
The LES MISERABLES sequels will see the light of day after all: http://tinyurl.com/3e8smk |
@thesaturdayboy well yes, exactly - RR hit the NYT list (extended) for the first time ever! If more people read the book that is fantastic. |
David Ulin on REVOLUTIONARY ROAD: http://tinyurl.com/3kx9t2 |
@mattbucher well it is easy to mangle the name, and probably they relied on the author to fact-check because newspapers barely copyedit now. |
Former Harcourt publisher Andre Bernard comments on the publishing industry turmoil: http://snurl.com/8w3ux |
@jomc pretty much. Though perversely I would like to see an article where all the Yates freaks watch the movie and discuss it. |
@Colleen_Lindsay yeah I wished I could have been there earlier because it sounded like there was a lot of optimism in the face of crapitude. |
@whet BWAHAHAHA. How about Mulligan Stew or Wittgenstein's Mistress? Actually, let's not jinx things |
In movie alerts: REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is not only not worth seeing, it thinks it is a cross between AMERICAN BEAUTY and MAD MEN. Um, no. |

@Colleen_Lindsay nah, I didn't drink nearly enough last night to cause a hangover. But it was a hell of a lot of fun! |
@mkindness here's the orig. link: http://tinyurl.com/3wsrra |
@mkindness follow the link on the tweet that came after that. LAT considering cutting national/foreign bureaus and outsourcing to WaPo. |
@Colleen_Lindsay what can I say, the news rendered me almost speechless. |
