...Peter Saxton, biography buyer at British bookseller Waterstone's, thinks there's a limit to the Diana publishing phenomenon. "I can?t see that there?s enough of a market for all 15 books to do spectacularly well," he says. Saxton does, however, think one book could break away from the pack - The Diana Chronicles, by Tina Brown, published in both the U.S. and the U.K. this month. Brown, the former editor of the Tatler, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, follows the princess as she goes from shy newlywed to "trapped bird in a cage" to a confident woman...

These are not the musty, downmarket stores of yore. The best ones are as carefully curated as a Soho boutique; put a premium on current styles, not vintage novelties; and turn a healthy profit...
...time being, at least, Beijing will continue to be a buyer of U.S. Treasury debt, helping keep interest rates low and the U.S. economy out of recession. But Paulson must know that the current trade relationship with China is seriously out of whack, and that something needs to give on the currency front sooner rather than later.
