The Globe and Mail has announced the return of the newspaper’s standalone arts and books section, beginning next month.

In a letter to advertisers on August 10, the Globe said that the weekly section will return Saturdays beginning September 10 after “its pandemic hiatus.” The letter said the section will mean increased numbers of book reviews and monthly roundups in addition to seasonal literary guides and listings. Details about the number of pages to be dedicated to books were not provided.

This will be welcome news for publishers, writers, and booksellers as review coverage in newspapers has shrunk over the years, even though book reviews and profiles are seen as important drivers of sales.
