  • Book (later retitled Barnes & Noble Presents Book) was an American bi-monthly popular literary magazine founded in 1998 by Mark Gleason and Jerome Kramer and published by West Egg Communications. Described by its editor as "the Rolling Stone—not the Billboard—of the book industry", MediaBistro.com said it was "also the Us Weekly of the industry, offering up juicy tidbits of what passes for gossip in this relatively respectable trade", noting for prospective writers that it was aimed at "enthusiastic leisure readers". The New York Times said Book "profiles authors and their works in much the way that People magazine reports on celebrities". In November 2000, bookseller Barnes & Noble purchased a 50-percent share of the company for $4.2 million, after which the magazine operated as a partnership. Thirty-one issues were published through the end of 2003, when the magazine ceased operations after Barnes & Noble stopped its funding following several years of losses. During the entire run, Gleason served as Book's publisher and president and Kramer as its editor-in-chief. In 2003, Book was nominated in the fiction category of the National Magazine Awards. (en)
