Link round Up from 07/09/2011 to 07/16/2011

Anna North does a wonderful write up called On Acknowledgments.

Drawing from that, No Thanks: Why Your Acknowledgement Page Sucks 

Here are the The 5 Most Stolen Books. Love that one of them is On the RoadJack Kerouac* must be proud.

Favorite Pseudonymous Books. Ten books by authors who wrote under pen names. Some of them you may never have known.

It has been 102 in Austin all week, so when I saw this list I knew I had to post it. Laugh Yourself Cool: 5 Funny Books To Beat The Heat.

With all the Harry Potter love this week, the new Winnie the Pooh movie has lost it's voice. NPR asks the question, Will Christopher Robin Ever Grow Up? God, I hope not.

For my LA readers, Carmageddon reading list: 19 books about the joys and terrors of transportation. Most of them can be downloaded on an eReader, so you won't have to use said automobile.

The Death of the Publishing IT Department? I highly doubt this, with the advent of eReaders the IT departments will grow, just not in the way that he's thinking.

How Harry Potter Changed My Life’ Essay Contest Counts 300 Submissions. The winner is adorable.

The New York Times Book Review did a lovely write up called, Remembering Stieg Larsson.

Just for laughs, Book Covers Crafted from Video Games.
