The Grumpy Old Bookman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grumpy Old Bookman is a litblog started by Michael Allen in late March 2004. A number of the essays and reviews posted there have been collected in his 2005 book, Grumpy Old Bookman.

The Grumpy Old Bookman is aimed at both readers and writers, and the content deals almost entirely with books and publishing. It soon acquired a reputation for plain speaking and controversy. A typical entry will either be a lengthy review of a book, or the author's thoughts on some aspect of the book world, inspired by an item of recent news.

In February 2005, the GOB blog was listed by The Guardian as one of the top ten literary blogs worldwide.
