Welcome to the first issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. I hope to post this newsletter weekly on Saturdays to start, but that schedule is subject to change. I must credit @Scoresby with coming up with the idea when replying to my post laying out plans for the territory.
The purpose of this newsletter is to highlight and promote the best posts, with an emphasis on original content. Suggestions are always welcome.
Top Five Posts Of The Week
The top post of the week will be forwarded 50% of the zaps earned on that week’s newsletter post. This might not be worth much more than bragging rights if the whole idea of this newsletter flops. Rankings will be determined using the SN zaprank.
Here are this week’s top posts:
This is the top post of the week. Congratulations to @plebpoet. This is way more than a discussion post, which is why it was so popular, IMO. I encourage everyone to read it.
Stackers’ Blogs
I encourage stackers to use this territory for their personal blogs. So far SN has not seen many regular bloggers. I’d like to see that change for selfish reasons. I love reading blogs!

Books
This is the first book posted to this territory, and I think it’s the first book posted to Stacker News. When @cleophas posted chapter 1, it really started me thinking about the possibilities for this territory in a new way. As for the book itself, I did not read it in its entirety yet, but from what I have read it is incredibly imaginative and very funny. Do not ignore the footnotes.
Hint: Perhaps someone would like to write a book review?

Happy The Hippo, an absolutely wonderful children’s book written by @cryotosensei for his son.
