Papers shrink book sections

Several US papers have been cutting back their book sections to save on newsprint and restore advertising ratios. When one reader complained after a six-page section in the Philadelphia Enquirer was whittled down to one and a half pages, he was told by the editor, "I could find nowhere else in the paper to reduce expenses that would not have an impact on readership." Ouch. Other papers shrinking their book sections: New York Times, Boston Globe, San Jose Mercury-News, St Paul Pioneer Press.
