The December Fine Books Notes is out, and contains pieces by Jonathan Shipley on comic book collecting, Jeffrey Murray on mapping the Northwest Passage, Ian McKay on recent auction results, and Rebecca Rego Barry's review of Audrey Niffenegger's The Night Bookmobile.
And over at Americana Exchange, an interview with Nancy Pearl, a preview of December auctions, a followup to their November piece on Better World Books, a look at the new head of Sotheby's New York's rare books department, Richard Austin (formerly of Bloomsbury) and a glimpse at the e-readers appearing on the European market.
