But first, how about a little help on Google Image Search

So Ms. Jones, who I guess isn’t very big on photos, should feel pretty good after these two pieces of news- First of all, a Danish publisher is trying to buy the rights for Jones’ book that will spark the upcoming holy war, and they said they won’t bow to censorship. Awesome. Almost as awesome is this is the name of the publishing house- Trykkefrihedsselskabets Library. So sweet.
Secondly, Random House, who bowed to self-censorship like little babies, has been black-balled by The Langum Charitable Trust which will not recognize anything from the publishing house specifically because of the little baby thing. Please read the statement from the founder of the prize to see a true American hero.

Via Conversational Reading, a new website is up that features a catalogue of books that only exist in other books. I think this totally rules even if I don’t know many of them, but where is Trout, Kilgore? That dude was prolific.

Mark is now an Australian teacher or something and he shows off some of the books he will be discussing with his students to make them (almost) as successful as himself. Or at least help them not write crap.

Via Bookslut, some poetry books about Katrina. Go see what they rhymed with “… doesn’t care about black people”.

Another superheroine has decided to save our children from the evils of basic education. I wonder what she thinks about Sherry Jones.

And finally, Booksquare discusses authors holding off rights for e-books for financial reasons or because that particular format isn’t the proper way to view their art. I’m about as anti-Kindle as anyone, but the idea that you don’t want your book read by people unless it’s been written on vellum and bound in wool of an Andes Llama is the kind of pretentious garbage that makes me wish all novelists were poor.
