Linklog: the age of margarine, clearing shelves, and more

Literary criticism in the 21st century: "Before we knew it, the Age of Margarine was upon us – not golden, but bright yellow, and full of suspicious adulterants."

Positive results of a book clearout, plus additional bookshelf porn.

• Positive reader reviews for sale in bulk.

• I'd be more interested in the original scroll version of On the Road if it looked like this.

• The beneficial effects of hiring an agent: "The book, formerly titled Every Day I Know Less and Less: Postcards From the New Times Square, has been sold to Denise Oswald of Soft Skull as Last of the Live Nude Girls."
