Other Resources
I don't really follow the publishing industry, or the latest in
book gossip - I prefer to wait till five or ten years after a book's
publication, when the fuss has died down a little and a longer-term
perspective is available. If you're after book news I recommend the Complete
Review's Literary Saloon, which also has links to other literary
weblogs.
