THE ROUNDUP from PW


A Wikipedia Print Edition? : It would run to over a million pages, featuring more than four million articles by 20 million volunteers: a "record-breaking" new project to turn Wikipedia into 1,000 books has just launched on Indiegogo.

Pullman's Latest Literary Endeavor : Instead of indulging in mindless 140 character twitterings and arguments with trolls, author Philip Pullman is currently devoting his Twitter timeline to telling the story of a housefly called Jeffrey.

Signs You've Been Reading too Much YA: "Every so often, I’ll realize that I haven’t had an adult book in my reading history in a while, and I’ll notice it because my thought patterns start to get weird."

Harper Lee Settles Museum Suit : "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee has settled the federal lawsuit she filed against a museum in her Alabama hometown over its sale of souvenirs featuring her name and the title of her book.

From Cookbooks to Rare Books : Nach Waxman, owner of Kitchen Arts & Letters in New York City, announced that he’ll be transitioning from working for the store nearly full-time to focusing on selling the out-of-print books that have long been a kind of “off the menu” specialty at the store.
