... and in this corner... it's a battle of giant publishers fighting over the classics. Ah, a sport I could watch without having to feign my enthusiasm...
Penguin seems to have a big hold on the "classics" market, but Random House is making a bid by publishing a new line next year... but they're redrafting their current Vintage authors (like Amis, Rushdie, Barnes and McEwan) as Vintage Classics.
Do they really count as "classics"? I feel this is a question that I'd hear from my parents, only directed towards music... "What do you mean they're playing Bruce Springsteen on oldies radio??"
