And it would seem to me paramount to...focus on your core incompetencies

Wow. Making Light has the saga of an Australian retailer's hamfisted attempt to shake down small publishers, followed by one such publisher's response. It's a little bit like standing behind a flamethrower that's not aimed in your direction; you still have to stand back and marvel, slightly aghast, at the firepower unleashed.

A&R Commercial Manager Charlie Rimmer proves himself less "Smoke me a kipper, skipper" Ace and more the classic original model. Tower Books Director Michael Rakusin is herewith awarded both ears and the tail.
