Operators are standing by
Over at the National Book Critics Circle blog, Critical Mass, they’ve posted an excerpt from an interview that gets to the very heart of the lit blogs vs. traditional media debate:
Anyone who’s worked at a newspaper knows how discomfiting it can be to see all the books that go unreviewed … from the writers’ and readers’ and publishers’ perspectives, wouldn’t we all be better off if publishers sent 100-200 galleys of every book to the 100-200 most-prominent bloggers in the circles of interest most likely to buy or enjoy a given book?
On a completely unrelated note, we here at BGB would like to point out to any publishers who may happen by that we are a bookish blog. If you’d care to send us galleys of books that we might find interesting, you can contact us using the handy “Contact Us” link.
