A sad farewell
The cover of November's edition of The Women's Review of Books carried sad news for book lovers across America as Editor-in-Chief Amy Hoffman announced the suspension of publication.
Amy cites the "demise of independent bookstores" as one of the contributing factors that require the monthly magazine to halt its regular production schedule.
Destinations Booksellers put WRB at the top of its list when building our periodicals selection and we'll be sad to see it go. Alas, the current issue, just in, will be the last we'll be seeing unless and until the magazine finds an institutional benefactor.
The December issue features Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek. I hope you'll pick up a copy and send a note of encouragement to the staff. We'll keep searching for ways to bring incisive commentary with a point of view to our racks and to Southeast Indiana.
