...Bellow and his business partner, David Bernstein, also an experienced publishing hand, are betting that these bite-sized books are the perfect way to capture the best voices of the blogosphere in an easy-to-read format. Says Bellow: "Pamphlets are the ideal form for the needs of the intelligent reader in our fast-paced, media-saturated, ADD culture." The average TNP pamphlet averages 40 to 80 pages.

House: Whose House? D-Haus. Lol. Concentration: Government (it’s where the $$ and babes are). Hometown: Sandersville, GA (damn right, that’s a red state). Ideal Date: My town has an annual Civil War reenactment that my father, mother and grand pappy participate in. I’ve always wanted to grab some soda pop from the apothecary and sit up on this big hill called Uncle Fielding’s Overlook and watch it with a girl. Best way for a girl to get your attention: Pop it and lock it, SON! Where to find...
