It's all about the book deal
Thank you the link.......I would have missed that eBay was 'out' and that 1stdibs.com was 'in' and would have missed the chance to consider this pair of chairs .
Again, thank you.
I keep checking back over here to see if you'll post on the New York Times' piece on the party-crowd-led revival of downtown Madison, Wisconsin. I posted on it myself! Looks like a great place to go to college, although local residents aren't too happy with the 2:00am closing time revellers deposting beer bottles on their lawns!

This post could have been a LOT more crisp:
The headline should have been:
WaPo: "Book deals for bloggers/Blogs for bloggers
And the content:
WaPo=Yawn
Now that's some crispy bloggin'.
Jeese, I never got to partake in 90% of those things and now they're already out.
George, what about John Scalzi? He has one of the oldest blogs on the internet, put his first two novels on his website for his blog readers, got a publisher directly because of that and this book was then heavily permoted by bloggers (Instapundit etc.)
The novel (and his later ones) did pretty well and won him the John W. Campbell award.
Was there a book deal for this?

I'll put it on my list of possible titles for the memoir I'm writing about my life as a blogger.
