One: At the excellent new Atlantic Correspondents blog, Hua Hsu discusses limited-edition books/magazines/art. It’s a good argument, and I’m glad to see it made in a high-profile place. (Odd case in point: I just ordered the upcoming issue of Yeti. It’s one of my favorite publications out there, both in the scope and quality of what it covers — but I also like the way it’s assembled: the digest size, the artwork, the way it fits together. And, I think, to an extent — a lot of that accounts for Yeti’s appeal and, dare I say, charm. Which is not to say that its editor, Mike McGonigal, is unaware of making work available for the web — quite the opposite, in fact.)

Two: Rudy Wurlitzer — whose The Drop Edge of Yonder is definitely worth your time — discusses the upcoming reissue of several of his novels.

Three: At The Rumpus, Peter Selgin explores Amazon’s customer reviews and shares some particularly memorable swings at modern classics.
