Lunch for Thursday, April 19

It turns out that people like having the book fair in the same basic part of central London, in the same type of space as Olympia, only larger and with more amenities (including everything from “salt beef carvery” and a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream stand to short taxi cab lines manned […]

Tenet Angry; Will Take On Cheney Author and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius has some “special knowledge” of what’s in the forthcoming George Tenet book (we heard recently just how special, but you didn’t hear it from me) and he provided a few details to Chris Matthews on CNN. “George Tenet has been doing a slow burn ever since he left the CIA. He’s been angrier and angrier as he saw himself being essentially made the fall guy on WMD in Iraq. And he’s gonna come back saying he and his agency, the CIA, were pushed, again and again, by […]

London Schedules and Reminders Next week we’ll be reporting live from the London Book Fair at PublishersMarketplace.com, and lunches will be dispatched regularly — though they could arrive anywhere from breakfast to tea time depending upon where you are (and how we’re holding up).

As noted earlier this week, if you’re at the fair, come by the Publishers Lunch “news desk” in the Rights Center to report deals, say hello, and with luck help yourself to an afternoon cookie.
