For the many readers who don’t follow the publishing industry, there happens to be a big anti-trust case going on that involves the Feds, the world’s top publishers, and Amazon.com. Anyone who wants to know more about the case can go here. But on a side note, one of the main players involved, Penguin CEO David Shanks, has awesome taste in books. He was seen carrying a copy of WONDERLAND into the proceedings earlier this week as noted by the Wall Street Journal. He’s still carrying WONDERLAND on the front of the New York Times business section today. I like this guy! Of course in full disclosure, Penguin is the parent company of my longtime publisher, G.P. Putnam’s Sons. Hmm. Smart!
