The New York Times:

In an attempt to increase book sales, HarperCollins Publishers will begin offering free electronic editions of some of its books on its Web site, including a novel by Paulo Coelho and a cookbook by the Food Network star Robert Irvine.

The idea is to give readers the opportunity to sample the books online in the same way that prospective buyers can flip through books in a bookstore.

Hi! I am a big fan of that book of your's "MY MOTHER THE CHEERLEADER" !! I am only in the 6th grade, but that book taught me a lesson. I have a few questions for you about this book. Are you going to make 2nd book about "My Mother The Cheerleader" ? Do you have a brother like Micheal or Morgan? Why didn't Pauline tell someone about Royce and Clem stripping her and about Morgan? How did the Jews start trouble? Hopefully you will have a 2nd book that answers some of my questions! Or you can e-mail me the answers to my questions. Thanks for the great book!
