Edinburgh has been named the world's first City of Literature by UNESCO. That's old news. What's new and interesting is this: Edinburgh is promoting a citywide reading campaign and will be giving out 25,000 free copies of Robert Lewis Stevenson's Kidnapped in an effort to get a large percentage of the city to read it in the month of February. The campaign is called One Book - One Edinburgh. I may be a huge dork for saying it, but it's one of the cooler ideas I've heard of recently and I only wish I were visiting Edinburgh during the month of February. With my red hair and a copy of Kidnapped, I'd fit right in.
