Book Magazine cutting kids/teen reviews?

[Kathleen Odean <kathleenodean@CS.COM>]

I've been writing reviews and a column on children's books for Book Magazine, a 
two-year-old glossy magazine with a million subscribers, since it started.  For the 
January issue, the magazine was low on ad revenues, so they cut the children's and 
teen columns and reviews (although they still appear on the web site).  Since it's 
one of only a handful of ways the general public reads about children's books, I'd 
hate to see this cut become permanent.  If you get Book, or your library does, and 
you'd like to see it continue to cover books for young people, it would be helpful 
if you'd lodge a complaint at letterstoeditor@bookmagazine.com

Thanks, and sorry for the cross-posting.
