Since things are a little slow today because of the holiday, I hope you won't mind if we bring your attention to a highlight from last week's mbToolbox blog: an interview with Jeffrey Trachtenberg, the reporter who covers the publishing industry at WSJ. Jeffrey gives Claire Zulkey his thoughts on bloggers with book deals, the fallout from Freywatch, the way publishers work the Internet, and the mainstreaming of erotica.

Meanwhile, at TVNewser, we hear that Anderson Cooper's delivered his manuscript, based on the best of all possible sources: his own CNN blog.
