[edit] Photo

HAHAHA I cannot believe the photo in the article! Seriously, doesn't anyone else think it's kinda inappropriate? --Jlpspinto 01:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It is really funny. But hey... it does indeed show various copies of The New York Review of Books, as claimed... and a cat... - Reaverdrop (talk/nl/w:s) 07:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Is there a reason why the photo was deleted? I think its humorous and irreverant nature was appropriate for the article. Maybe it could be inserted lower down...  ? -- Ssilvers 20:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pretentious description

Does anyone else think..."which takes, as its point of departure that the discussion of important books is itself an indispensable literary activity...." is a bit pretentious particularly at the start of the article? --Tom 17:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Can the quip about the "amazing pettiness" of the letters be delted?

[edit] Sale of the Review

It is true that the Review was sold to Rea S. Hederman by the founders, but I can't remember the exact date. I'm sure a google search would turn up something. I doubt that the amount of the sale was disclosed, since it was a private sale. However, both Bob Silvers and Barbara Epstein (until her death) stayed on as the editors after Hederman bought the Review. -- Ssilvers 20:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
