Tea Partiers' Summer Reading

In time for summer, two dispatches of interest from the world of publishing.

First, Adam Bellow, son of Saul and a former HarperCollins editor, has launched a new publishing venture, Broadside Books, and its first major project is an experimental digital and print pamphlet series called Voices of the Tea Party. Bellow describes the pamphlet’s writers as “everyday Americans who have taken to the streets in an effort to make our government more responsive to the needs of its citizens.” So far, the “voices” of the Tea Party include President Obama’s cousin on “Why the Hippocratic Oath Requires [Him] to Oppose ObamaCare” and a descendant of Patrick Henry on how his famous ancestor’s life influences his political activism.
