Uncorrected Proof

The Australian book scene has always been the best damn book scene in the world - a dump bin of literary intrigue, unrestrained genius and inspired marketing. And at the coal face has been The Blue News, the satirical website keeping booksellers, publishers, authors and readers on their toes. Collected here for the first time in an easy-to-use book format is the best of The Blue News. Featuring characters we have grown to love, including Bryce Courtney, Richard Flanagan and Norma Khouri, it proves once again that the industry never lets ego or fear of legal action get in the way of a good story.
