An inconvenient goof

It's been a hectic month at Bookgasm, with out-of-town trips and whatnot hampering our ability to meeting Beatrice's strict weekly deadlines. But that's all starting to change now.

Yet just as we get back in the game, we're befuddled by Penguin's decision to send out Al Gore's new youth-adult edition of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH in huge envelopes about three times the size they needed to be. Irony.

Anyway, over at Bookgasm this week, you'll find reviews of Ted Dekker's SAINT, a SHADOW pulp twofer, Lisa Scottoline's DIRTY BLONDE, a little curiosity called THE BAFFLE BOOK, a stock-car thriller titled HOT LAPS (snicker), Donald Spoto's new JOAN (of Arc) biography, William Dietrich's NAPOLEON'S PYRAMIDS, Robert Liparulo's GERM, Vince Van Patten's THE PICASSO FLOP, a new Playboy literary anthology and many more, none of which will cause our ocean's levels to rise and flood major metropolitan areas.
