Chicago Tribune Considering Stand-Alone Book Section

The Chicago Tribune may debut a  32-page book review publication, Printers Row, in January, as an add-on print publication to cost $2.

Sounds like the pub would be similar to the New York Times Book Review, though the test issue contains a piece of fiction, not commonly found in the Times version -- now "so popular that it is sold separately, at a price of $91 annually for mail delivery in Illinois," writes Lynne Marek.
