Nice to see a new thing launch that already has some idea about how it’ll make money.

The Staff Recommends is an advertorial publication that only features books we like.

From the about page:

So what you’re saying is that The Staff Recommends is kind of like the part in the bookstore where the employees put little cards on the books saying what they liked and why, only online?

Yes, that’s what we’re saying.

Books are chosen by John Warner, editor at large at McSweeneys, and Biblioracle. Recommended books will appear at The Millions, the Bygone Bureau, and The Morning News.
