My favourite day of the month is always “new magazine day”. This is the day that my Vanity Fair (or ELLE) arrives in the mail. This past Thursday was new magazine day, and after quickly leafing through the pages of this month’s Vanity Fair, I settled in for the slower actually-reading-the-stories-that-interest-me leaf-through. This is when I stumbled upon a short feature on Reif Larsen. Larsen is a first time writer whose manuscript was so in demand ten (that’s right!) publishing houses were bidding for it. Penguin ended up buying it, and the manuscript of the book titled The Selected Works of T.S Spivet sold for just under $1 million. Another testament to the fact that the publishing industry is not dead. The book is to be released May 5th, for a little more on the bidding war click here.
