This is such an enlightening comment ...

... that I have pulled it out of the comments attached to this post and reproduce it here.

"With reference to Ed's post, I can tell you about the scenario in India. A lot of national newspapers publishing out of New Delhi have dedicated book sections, because there is a huge market for them, at least in the Capital. The growing popularity of books, in general, is reflected in the opening of new bookstores, thanks in part of the emergence of a new breed of young writers expressing themselves in English. The Times of India, which had scrapped its book page in the 80s has started it again recently. This can only get better with dedicated magazine formats appearing on the horizon."

    Sounds like I need to move to New Delhi. Or maybe the Inq should try to lure some Indian editors over here.
