Who Says There’s No Money in Sex…I Mean Publishing
Did you hear? The savvy folks at Random House are getting a $5,000 Holiday bonus thanks to the red hot Fifty Shades of Grey and it's subsequent follow up books. I wanted to do a shout out to my friends at RH and just to let you know, we're looking for our own...

Random Penguin or Penguin House?
