Chicago Tribune To Publish Weekly Book Review

Weekly Book Review Ready To Launch
Would you buy a weekly book review for $2 above the price of your regular Chicago Tribune subscription? According to today’s ChicagoBusiness, the folks at the Tribune are hoping you will. It’s an attempt to offset the loss of revenue from diminishing newspaper sales.

What do you think? Is a weekly devoted to book reviews, author interviews, bestseller lists, and other book news a good idea? Is it worth $2?

Other ChicagoBusiness news includes the Ricketts family’s investment in the Cubs’s front office, including the recent hiring of Theo Epstein as President of Baseball Operations and Blue Cross Blue Shield’s hold on the health insurance market in Illinois.

The sunshine made Millennium Park an afternoon destination on Tuesday.

It was warm enough to eat lunch or read a book in the park.

Not sure what they're shooting, but according to the Chicago Film Office Web site, Fox is currently filming Ride Along, a new Television series starring Jennifer Beals. Beals starred in Flashdance, one of the biggest box office hits during the 1980s.
