After a bit of banter about how baseball front offices\u00a0might\u00a0<\/em>be as bad at naming things as book people, and a plug for Paul Vidich’s\u00a0The Coldest Warrior<\/a><\/em>, Chad and Tom each draft four forthcoming books from a total of eight different presses that they’ve both agreed to read and discuss in future episodes. How could this possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

Also: On the next episode they’ll be discussing Matvei Yankelevich’s recent essay, “The New Normal: How We Gave Up the Small Press<\/a>.” It’s a long piece that’s actually the third installment in a four-part series that he’s writing (part one<\/a>, part two<\/a>), but can be read on its own in advance of the next podcast. If you have any comments, observations, reflections, criticisms, questions, feel free to email threepercentpodcast@gmail.com or contact Chad or Tom directly.<\/p>\n
