more bad news for books

The rumours from the past week re: The Washington Post Book World were true:
the WASHINGTON POST has today announced that as of 22 February, 'Book
World' will cease to exist as a separate entity, and will instead be
incorporated into the 'Outlook' and 'Style' sections. This means that
while the POST will continue reviewing new titles, the total number -
currently some 900 books a year - will decrease. Pulitzer Prize winning critic Michael Dirda's column will still be run in the Style section.

Argh. They just took away another Sunday section a couple months ago, and combined two Sunday sections a year or so ago. Now they're demanding that I pay them "on notice" when that would be three weeks early. They're really having trouble.
