Copies of the fifth Harry Potter were found in a field today. The Sun, where the books eventually landed, piously announced its intention to return the books to J K Rowling's publisher, Bloomsbury. (The Babu loves the Sun's old-fashioned, Hush-Hush style. And of course he knows that they would never, gasp, read the embargoed Fifth Potter. Not even take a peek. Those are men of honour in them thar hills.) Sara Nelson, in the New York Observer, has interesting things to say on the uses of that publishing manouever known as the embargo.
