James Patterson spills writing must-haves for new book 'Holmes, Marple & Poe'

 Quote:

“Patterson, known for promoting bookstores, made news just before Christmas when he gave $500 bonuses to 600 employees at independent bookstores across the country.

"I've said this before, but I can't say it enough − booksellers save lives," Patterson wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in December. "What they do is crucial, especially right now."”

Chapbooks

José Guadalupe Posada, El pequeño adivinadorcito, chapbook cover, ca. 1900

“Chapbook is also a term currently used to denote publications of up to about 40 pages, usually poetry bound with some form of saddle stitch, though many are perfect bound, folded, or wrapped. These publications range from low-cost productions to finely produced, hand-made editions that may sell to collectors for hundreds of dollars. More recently, the popularity of fiction and nonfiction chapbooks has also increased. In the UK they are more often referred to as pamphlets.”*
