Time Out Chicago just said of the book, “”Turns out Richard Nixon wasn’t our nation’s most gifted redactor.”

It’s been three whole weeks since Newspaper Blackout came out. If y’all liked the book, I’d sure appreciate a review on Amazon.
My friend Jason Molin and his band played the coolest little lunchtime show on the UT campus this afternoon. They played from 12:15-12:45 so everybody could get there and back on their lunch break. Really cool idea. Great tunes, and great weather. (See my sketch.)

And a great tale from Heather Brush, the books page editor at the Roanoke Times (she reviewed NB):
There’s a funny story behind my review…the book was sitting on my desk here in the newsroom, waiting for me to finish it and review it, when it disappeared. Someone swiped it! I put up “wanted” posters and mysteriously it was returned in the dark of night. Apparently, news people are very interested in this book!
A book worth stealing — that’s what I like to hear! Thanks, Heather.
Two other great reviews from The Christian Science Monitor and The Austin American-Statesman.
