Wow, I remember the Bloomsbury SNAFU hitting the fan - you would think in this real-time social media age, most publishers would have gotten that message by now - The Public, the ones who're paying attention, aren't going to sit still for that kind of crap. And since "the ones who're paying attention" very often coincides with "the ones who're paying for books"... Yeah, I'm surprised. Someone at Harper needs to start paying more attention.

Good post!
