The Book Standard apparently launched on the 27th (via Locus Blinks). Looks like much of the content will ultimately be premium, but for the moment is free to peruse. There's an interview with Safran Foer and an article with the disturbing headline "Robert Zemeckis Eyes The Corrections." It's the eyes part that's sort of heebie jeebie, like he's going to date it or something. ("Look at the rack on that book!" Somewhere Jonathan Franzen is hiding under his blanket.)
