End of Washington Post's Book World isn't end of reviews

The end of the Washington Post's stand-along Book World section shouldn't be too big a deal, says the section's editor. Plans are to shift reviews and coverage to the Style and Perspective sections, with those sections carrying about two-thirds of the number of present reviews. Maybe not, but it's another loss of content at a time when the print newspapers should be fighting for readers. Once upon a time (not that long ago), fighting for readers meant offering more and better coverage.
