    • Ruiz Zafón's Shadow Fever
    Already this spring, publishing houses worldwide were struck with Carlos Ruiz Zafón fever, a result of waiting seven years for the next novel by the beloved Spanish author of La sombra del viento (Planeta, 2001; The Shadow of the Wind, Penguin, 2003), a book that sold over ten million copies worldwide in 30 languages. When the bidding fever broke late on Friday, April 4th, the North American Spanish-language rights for El juego del ángel (The Angel's Game), a prequel to Shadow set in a Barcelona of the 20's, were sold by the Spanish literary agent Antonia Kerrigan to Anne Messetti at Vintage Español. The North American English-language rights went to Stephen Rubin at Doubleday for a reported seven figure advance.

    A Service Success Story Described at PLA
    While in some corners active civic resistance to immigrants-and thus service to them-has emerged, Athens, GA and surrounding Clarke County is part of a significant trend toward support. At the Public Library Association (PLA) conference in Minneapolis, Kathryn Ames, director of the Athens Regional Library System, described how the area had changed, with just 1220 Latinos in the 1990 census and 23,000 a decade later, all out of a service population barely topping 100,000.
