National Post features editor Benjamin Errett had this statement: “He really built the books section up all by himself, which is to his great credit … Obviously I want to keep him writing, because I think he does an amazing job with his publishing reporting … He’s only one man, but we hope he’s going to be able to keep it all up.”
