Readers' Guide out!
Viking just published the readers' guide to my upcoming novel, A DANGEROUS FICTION. Not sure why they do this five months before publication--does anyone know? For reviewers, maybe? Anyway, here it is, and I'd love to know what you think. I'd read the book...but that hardly counts.

That is interesting that they put it out so early, but it's a great reader's guide, so it can't be anything but good news!

For book clubs; especially library-run/supported book clubs.

It gives the library time to figure out if it would be wise to order X number of copies and possibly print the reader's guide for their book clubs.

Thanks, Perks!

And you too, Medievalist---that makes a lot of sense. Will think kind thoughts about librarians. Not that I don't anyway.

I'd never heard of a reader's guide before now - but that was a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing!
