The Great Gatsby: Best Seller Status, Dueling Book Covers, and Yet Another Movie Version


Judging ‘Gatsby’ by Its Cover(s).  (The New York Times, 4/25/2013)

Excerpt:  On Thursday, it was the top-selling book on Amazon.com.  At Barnes & Noble stores last week, no other paperback book sold more copies. It has landed on best-seller lists for independent bookstores.

Based on the trailer, I don't think the movie is going to revive Tobey Maguire's career.
