Even if no one's hoarding yet, thus far the last year of the twentieth century has been marked by freneticism - the apparent need to cram in as much as possible before computers crash, cash registers fail or the whole damn world just stops. Never mind the eighties; in 1998-1999, more-more-more has been the driving philosophy in the book world: Andrew Greeley churned out books faster than Dickens on crystal meth, Roger Ebert fans pushed his total-sold numbers past the one-million mark, Trib Ed added exponentially to its ever-growing brood, Charlie Trotter cooked and Oprah found even more gurus to offer a nation hungry for inspiration. And if you think this past year was marked by good 'n' plenty, just wait until you see what's coming soon - new books by the likes of Studs Terkel, Scott Turow and Bill Zehme. Sara Paretsky returns, bringing a jailbird V.I. Warshawski with her. And IDG Publishing continues its noble quest to save dummies from themselves. Funny how Michael Jordan suddenly looks like a slacker. |
