| Sumario: | A specialist publisher exhibiting at the London Book Fair proudly showed off the text of a foreword to one of its titles. The novelist may have need of Vivian Cook's Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary, the autumn title with which, small publisher of the year Profile Books is following Eats, Shoots & Leaves. However, Mr. Cook, who teaches at the University of Essex, does not adhere to the "zero tolerance approach" to incorrectness pioneered by Lynne Truss. Olivier Nora, publisher at the distinguished French house Grasset, once ran the French publishers' agency in the U.S., attempting to sell rights in French literature.
