Gleanings: The New Yorker, Petite Sizes, and Paul Bettany.

  • The New Yorker will be getting a digital facelift says its editor in this interview. Eager to see how that turns out.
  • Great piece by Paul Collins about bookselling. Adds some much needed nuance to the whole indies v. chains debate.
  • The NYT reports that petite sizes are vanishing from department stores. I cannot for the life of me understand why, with Fed-Ex, just in time manufacturing and a tape measure, a clothes shopper couldn’t be fitted for any size and have it shipped to them in 48 hours. A huge missed opportunity?
  • This person was NOT an intern anywhere I ever worked (via NMM).
  • Aren’t we a little early on for Paul Bettany to have a fame audit?
