Penguin Books launches the first blog from a mainstream publisher on Monday 31st July.

The blog will give readers a glimpse into the editor's office, offering insight into the day-to-day running of the company and how books are made. The first blogger will be Venetia Butterfield, Publisher of Viking, the hardback imprint which counts Will Self, Nick Hornby, Jonathan Coe, Claire Tomalin, Jeremy Paxman and Rageh Omaar amongst its authors. Come back and visit after its launch on Monday 31st July.

Plus the HarperPerennial blog, Theolivereader.com and the Ecco blog, the cruelestmonth.com, have been around for longer than the Eos blog. And there's a Holtzbrinck blog as well.

In any event, welcome to the party.

Dude, that's embarrassing.

Huzzah!
As a designer, I must ask: Why a glimpse into only the editor's office? For real "insight into the day-to-day running of the company and how books are made," I hope also to see occasional reports from people on the production side of the house. Penguin has a distinguished design history, and it would be interesting to hear from the people who're carrying it on.
