LA Times to Fold Standalone Book Review – 7/21/2008 12:28:00 PM – Publishers Weekly

According to a former staffer, the Los Angeles Times is folding its standalone Sunday book review section, laying off two dedicated book editors.

Despite the folding of the section, the longrunning Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is expected to continue, but Wasserman observed that without the Book Review itself, “the book festival will be a hollow joke.” He urged readers and writers “to join with us as we protest this sad and backward step.”
