I wrote earlier this week about John Dale's book, 24 hours in journalism. And it certainly seems to have taken off in the days since.
According to the Society of Editors website, it has enjoyed "rave reviews", including one from Lindsay Nicholson, the National Magazine company's editorial director who "read it in one gulp." She writes: "I couldn't put it down. Should be required reading for Leveson. At last, this is real story of what it's like to be a journalist in 21st century Britain!"
Of the eight tributes to Dale's work on the site, my favourite is from a former Daily Mirror editor, David Banks:
"I am portrayed in 24 Hours as an unfit, boorish, name-dropping former editor who drank Jack Daniel's at afternoon conference and who now trawls ex-colleagues for quotes to support his punditry while wishing he were still back in the bigtime with them... reckon you got it just about right!"
There is more praise on Facebook. It's still being sold as an ebook on Kindle at the launch price of £2.99.
