Sir – UNESCO made the right decision when they awarded the World Book Capital 2014 title to Port Harcourt, rather than Oxford.
Any city, whose major newspaper’s coverage of books has shrunk to half a page, is not worthy of the title.
As last week’s half page was actually an interview, not a review, advertising a ghost-written book, when can we expect the book section to return to its former glory, with interesting reviews written by people who care about books?
Please do not tell us there is not enough space in the newly-expanded newspaper for this; a reduction of the size of the pictures in the film section could be easily managed, we are not Sun readers.
