Bookish: HP7 and more (7#) -

# So Long, Harry: A charming literary envoi to Harry Potter & Co from the Editorial Page of The Times of India.

# Potter Magic and Madness: The last third of this article addresses the controversial topic of the "Potter Price Wars."

# Robert Fox at The First Post echos this concern.

# HP7 debut in UAE scheduled for 3am !

# Looks like an interesting Books Page over at TFP this week; a couple which caught my eye: The Snake Stone by Jason Goodwin (a bit like Eric Ambler with an Istanbul setting) and The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox (described as a Victorian pastiche). Also, they say that JG Ballard's Kingdom Come is in pb now.

# Also at TFP: A peek inside a new comic book version of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express from writer Francois Riviere and artist Solidor.

# Bonus Viral Video: The Shoplifting Seagull has made it to American TV; I watched it at noon here today. And it's gone around the world already. [dmail]
