BEA Roundups
Again this year, consumer media coverage of Book Expo America is focused on eBooks (the Financial Times headline, “E-books Rewrite an Industry” contrasts with a blogger’s take that BEA is about clueless “Industry Dinosaurs on Parade“).
As for the books at Book Expo, New York magazine rounds up the hottest fiction galleys in “The Ten Hottest Prospects From This Year’s Book Expo” and the Wall Street Journal summarizes the Editors Buzz panel in Six Books Look to Build Buzz at BookExpo America.
But the industry trade magazine is not completely blinded by eBook talk. PW declares that, in adult, Hardcover Fiction is Back and that it’s A Bountiful Fall for Children’s Books.
