Boo! Book Pages Shrinking

Looks like my local paper, the venerable Cleveland Plain Dealer, has recently sliced a significant chunk off its book review pages.

Boo!

We can only hope it's a temporary change.

Yes, yes, I know what's going on in the newspaper business. It's crazy. No one really knows how to plump up profits.

But it seems sort of - disingenuous? counterproductive? well, ironic, at least - to reduce the reading space devoted to the most devoted readers.

Sigh.

You read, right? Let the paper's management know you miss those column-inches. And you want 'em back. I sure do!
