...decision to design the book in such an unusual fashion is questionable; the accordion-like pages are more difficult to handle than the leaves of a traditional book, and the hefty box that contains them is far more unwieldy than an average hardcover tome. An edition of “Nox” in which the poems, translations, letters, and photographs appeared as regular pages would be equally effective in recreating the poet’s attempt to understand her own grief...
...support of Wall Street - and his statement that the rise of populism is an understandable but "worrisome" response to a sagging economy - is telling. Unlike Palin, whose book Going Rogue was an anecdote-laced grand tour of her household, Romney has penned a sober, substantive tome that traces the decline of the Ottoman Empire and includes graphs of housing prices. With voters consumed with their checkbooks, he ramps up the wonkishness, offering an Index of Leading Leading Indicators and closing the book with a 64-point agenda on issues ranging from tort reform and the construction of nuclear power plants...
...Lancelin in the French weekly Nouvel Observateur, the media in France were buzzing with praise for Lévy's new book - as they did for his previous works, including Who Killed Daniel Pearl?, an investigative book about the killing of the American journalist, and American Vertigo, a meditative tome about his journey across the U.S. Lévy had also been doing the promotion rounds, appearing on major talk shows to discuss his new book and posing for photographs in French magazines, wearing his trademark white shirt, unbuttoned to reveal his bronzed, slim physique...
...aides watched Palin's Fox debut with the same trepidation with which they anticipated the publication of her memoir in November.

In the call, however, McCain implored his people to refrain from commenting on the book. He had no appetite for an ugly public airing of his campaign...
Around the time of the publication this past November of Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue, John McCain convened an unusual conference call with the former top staffers of his 2008 presidential campaign. McCainworld had been braced for the Palin tome for months, fearing she would use it to settle scores against a group of aides she had turned against - and vice versa. On the call, however, McCain implored his people to refrain from comment on the book. He had no appetite for an ugly public airing of his campaign's most heavily soiled laundry.
