PUBLISHERS

I have a new one to hate: Little Brown's imprint Back Bay. It's a two-fer. They've republished all the Hornblower books so many times they apparently think, "Hey it's a paperback of 'Hornblower and [blah blah blah].' No one will really care if it's 263 pages or 380, so why use up a perfectly good new ISBN on it!" Ergh.

Want to check for yourself? This is a prime example (FirstSearch): 0316289124!

'Course, it would help if catalogers were a little more (ahem) consistent too....

Thank God for the Kumbia Kings. They are keeping me sane right now, which is amazing since I really only need one brain cell and some teenage hormones to pay attention to them!
