Simon Hughes, books editor of The Australian Financial Review Magazine, has lauded Scribe in the summer 2007 issue. Citing The Low Road by Chris Womersley as the year’s best book (‘A stunning debut’ novel ), he also includes The Tears of Autumn by Charles McCarry and Deer Hunting with Jesus by Joe Bageant in his top 20 books of the year. Hughes writes:

‘Henry Rosenbloom’s Scribe might not be raking in the big bikkies but it seems to be making all the right decisions. Whether it is buying in titles from overseas (see below for The Tears of Autumn and Deer Hunting with Jesus) or promoting the home-grown product (The Low Road) Scribe gets our Gold Banana for 2007.’

Thank you, Simon. Your cheque is in the mail.
