THE ROUNDUP from PW



Can Bestseller Lists Be Bought?: Every author wants a bestselling book -- and those who can pay for the services of ResultSource Inc. just might get one. The company describes itself as "a boutique marketing firm that works with today’s thought leaders to build bestsellers," which it has.

Scholastic Closes on $250M HQ Buy : Scholastic has closed on its purchase of its U.S. headquarters at 555 Broadway for $255 million, according to public records filed with the city today. The publisher purchased the 325,000-square-foot property from South Carolina-based landlord ISE America.

How to Be a Good Bad American Girl : Anna Holmes on Scout Finch, Harriet M. Welsch, and "enlightened, audacious girlhood," in the "New Yorker."

The Ten Year Itch : Re-reading books after a decade.

Inside 57th Street's Rizzoli Bookstore : News broke in January that the beloved and historic Rizzoli Bookstore on 57th Street in New York would eventually be demolished, sparking a preservation campaign in an attempt to save the building. The wrecking ball isn't coming anytime soon, but just in case, Racked sent their photographer to the shop to capture its architectural beauty before it's wiped away.
