Embattled lit blogger Julie Wilson, who was kicked out of a Toronto Indigo location earlier this week while doing research for her website Seen Reading, has come to an understanding with Indigo Books & Music chief merchant Joel Silver. Wilson, who blogs about what she sees people reading in public places, had been copying a passage from a book for an upcoming post when she was approached by an overzealous staffer who apparently doesn’t know the meaning of fair dealing.
Over at Bookninja, Wilson tells George Murray about the latest developments:
JW: Hey George, Good conversation with Joel Silver at Chapters-Indigo just now. GTA stores will be made aware of Seen Reading, and I have a contact I’m able to pass along should their be a need. Liberates me from having to explain, and gives Chapters-Indigo the ability to use their own language. Feels like a clean solution, and one I’m happy with. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go back undercover. I’m the Garbo of the Book World!
