NYTimes.com Launches Books Blog
In what is no doubt a response to the public outcry over the cutting of books sections in newspapers, the New York Times launched a Books Blog at Papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com today. Written by Dwight Garner, senior editor of The Book Review, the blog at the moment features 3 introductory posts and an empty blogroll - not what I would suggest for the launch of any blog product.
Anyone know of any other books-related web projects being produced by newspapers?
[Apologies for the infrequent posts of late, folks. Stuff over at Portland2007.AAN.org has been keeping me busy - AAN’s 30th Annual Convention is this week in Portland, Oregon.]

I think it is really sad to cut book reviews from newspapers. It is one of the only forms of passive entertainment that is relatively inexpensive. Finding out what the books are about and opinions helps all of us make decisions…Well I confess I did just write a book.
