None of it's great, but there are varying degrees of mediocre. I think "bad stuff selling well" is mostly a [...]

Cool idea, and it looks like it's beautifully packaged, too. Thanks for alerting us to this one, Henry. (I've shared this on Facebook.)

Peterson
I’m already struggling against my desire to buy this book, and I don’t even know what it’s about! It really does have that “special something” that would have me uncontrollably grabbing it off the table in the bookstore, or immediately clicking on it over at Amazon. It’s probably the best looking SP book I’ve ever [...]

Just read that article at NYRB. I think Epstein makes some great points.
The reappearance of the backlist is something I’m really looking forward to. Here in Australia, our market for local writing is very small. It’s almost impossible to get copies of some Australian novels published as little as twenty years ago. Only the bestsellers [...]

FYI, “The New Yorker” has a web page with links to the 13 stories Salinger published there between 1946 and 1965. With just a few clicks, subscribers ($39.95 pa) can instantly access scanned copies of those magazines … oh, and the ENTIRE ARCHIVE containing every page of every issue from 1925!
