With last-minute pre-Bologna Book Fair requests flooding my inbox and the London Book Fair looming in so few weeks I can hardly comprehend it, I barely have time to think this week, let alone try to find something interesting to say on the blog today. So it was with a great sigh of relief that I came across two chuckle-worthy pieces on publishing.

If you’re having as stressful a week as I am, take a deep breath and give yourself a moment to laugh along with this faux edit letter at McSweeney’s by Jay Dyckman and this Summer Book Roundup from the delightfully named A Shout Out to My Pepys. Do you think anyone will notice if I just copy and paste that second one into my London highlight list? Other than Justin, Katie, Katie, Justin, and Justin, of course.
