Though book pages taking a hit isn't new, this spring we are seeing major newspapers go to wire book reviews only. Communities across the country are losing the local literary voice and readers are losing a resource of regional books.
The National Book Critics Circle has started the Campaign to Save Book Reviews as well as a petition to Save the Book Page and Book Editor at the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
If you are in the Atlanta area, there will be a Read-In on May 3rd from 10am until in front of the AJC office. Bring a book and celebrate reading!
