The last typewriter company shut its doors this week: The end of the line: Last typewriter factory left in the world closes its doors.
This story is three years old, but I still love reading it: Kerouac's On the Road manuscript travels to the Midlands.
Penguin is doing a fantastic job with it's new book covers. Here are some images of their new releases: Etsy and Books Collide: Penguin's New Hand-Sewn Covers.
Chuck Palahniuk does film vs book reviews. His most recent is of Apt Pupil. Keep in mind, this novella caused a shit storm of controversy when I was in high school and college. It's nice to read an updated review that doesn't mention Columbine.
Three Guys One Book does a brilliant take down on the data sharing from ereaders: Invasion of the Book Snatchers.
Oh, and George R. R. Martin has an announcement to make about his latest book A Dance with Dragons. (For an author who writes novels that range into the 700 to 1000 page territory I thought that was cute)
Check out the title of this book: The President Is a Sick Man: Wherein the Supposedly Virtuous Grover Cleveland Survives a Secret Surgery at Sea and Vilifies the Courageous Newspaperman Who Dared Expose the Truth
Lastly, PVP created a web-comic that made me laugh so hard I cried. It's called Bookends.
