This one published by Farrar, Strauss Giroux. I would encourage Think to not turn into a book show that favors only a handfull of big publishers in an industry that is so heavily consolidated into such few companies. What about all the thousands of publishers that are not one of these big five? What about the largest publishing explosion in history - zines? It seems Think just promotes the latest trendy mainstream book instead of the best writing. Let's be fair, and not turn into just a infomercial for a handfull of publishers.
