Great Regulars: This is bookselling 2008,

a long way from the quaint belief that personal contact is the best way to get your book into the hands of the reading public.

At another social gathering, a perplexed publicist asked, "Well, what is the 'buzz book' of the convention? Tell me, I want to know."

Unlike my earlier shot at a comeback, I knew there was no answer. There seems to be no frontrunner for the eagerly anticipated novel or sensational memoir.
