The New York Times:
Having ramped up her metabolism from magazines to online journalism with The Daily Beast, Tina Brown now wants to speed up book publishing.
In a joint venture with Perseus Book Group, The Daily Beast is forming a new imprint, Beast Books, that will focus on publishing timely titles by Daily Beast writers -- first as e-books, and then as paperbacks on a much shorter schedule than traditional books.

Would never be on my reading list. Not worth the cost in time or $$$.
Tina Brown faker than a $2 bill. Huffington really takes care of their friends.
Perhaps you meant Three Dollar Bill.
I love the idea of quick turnaround ebooks. While they probably won't be able to analyze the issues as well as a book written later, it will establish a starting for debate. Right now, the right wing press gets first say and therefore gets to frame the debate. And how many great expose's have been buried in multi-day stories in newspapers.
A post on books and it received no attention. Why am I not surprised.
I think the yawn factor has more to do with Tina Brown than with the subject of books.
