You know on NM's livejournal there's a whole side commentary about the commments here... <BR/> <BR/>~~~~~<BR/>The whole idea of making a new imprint for every editor who's kissed enough ass is pointless. The public's decision to buy celebrity/internet fluff books is not at all tied to whether or not there is an "it" stamped on the spine. In this economy, fluff <I>books</I> are the first thing to cut back on. You can get fluff for free online, why would anyone need to buy books for this?<BR/><BR/>It's a vanity. Today's imprint editor is tomorrow's fired-for-poor-sales editor. At best, it's something this Kania woman can put on her resume when she looks for a new job in two years. Good for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-29873583148048343732009-03-06T09:31:00.000-05:002009-03-06T09:31:00.000-05:00twitter wit.the best and brightest sayings you can...twitter wit.<BR/><BR/>the best and brightest sayings you can get, in 140 characters or less.<BR/><BR/>don't you see that things are getting more and more dumbed down?<BR/><BR/>the imbeciles are in control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
