What's New?
Some words from great minds about books...
The covers of this book are too far apart.
Read over your compositions, and where ever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.
Ambrose BierceBoswell: Life of Johnson
Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.
Charles Caleb Colton
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
Dorothy Parker
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
G. K. Chesterton
From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, marking a radical departure from traditional book-publishing practices, HarperCollins Publishers says it will launch a new book imprint that won't accept returns from retailers and will pay little or no advances to authors.

Today I was speaking with an ad exec from one of the best known papers out of Washington DC and he assured me that, excepting ex-presidents and rock stars, a book review in any large magazine or newspaper is what he called a "billable event," meaning that unless a check for $5000 or more accompanies the book review request, no review will appear. To those of us in the business this is no surprise, but to new writers, the ugly realities of the publishing business can be discouraging.Army Magazine raves about Elderberry book
