The Blookers
Following on smartly in the Bookers publicity wake comes The Blookers (via the BBC), an award for books that started off as blogs. The chair of the jury is Cory Doctorow, who once again gets a picture on the BBC website and a link to his website....that's how you sell books these days! Of course the awards themselves appear to be part of the grand marketing scheme of Lulu, the publish on demand er... publisher. So presumably the winner will be a book published by Lulu?! (BTW Lulu's SF&F section now has 1140 books. Blimey.)
