Two Authors and a “Jeopardy” Champion on JKR/WB vs. RDR Books
The Leaky Cauldron has a new post up about the JKR/WB vs. RDR Books trial. In it, authors Orson Scott Card and Neil Gaiman, as well as Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings, voice their opinions on the suit. They had plenty to say, and I can’t help but agree with most of what was said. However, the “Editor’s Note[s]” added seem a little quick to disagree with them.
I have to agree with Mr. Card and Mr. Jennings. As Ken Jennings said,
“Books like The Harry Potter Lexicon are nothing new. When I was a kid, I had a bunch of unlicensed glossaries like these on my shelves: Robert Foster’s Complete Guide to Middle-Earth, Bjo Trimble’s Star Trek Concordance, etc.”
