Over the past five years, book coverage at dozens of newspapers has been cut back or slashed altogether, puffed up with wire copy, or generally treated as expendable.

Authors can purchase a review in some black book review publications. Is this an unethical abuse of reader trust or simply a necessary business tool for ad-starved publications?

When I was a teenager, the New York Times Book review used to be at least 120 pages....Now it's only a fraction of that size. |
