Sacked bookseller back stacking

Splendiferously named Blit* Maud Newton [well done, Mum, or shoud it be Mom : Ox. Ref., 1) a Scots shepherd's grey striped plaid. 2. a travelling rug like this.] reports :

Forbidden Planet has hired Joe Gordon, "the blogger famously sacked last year by his employer Waterstone's [a U.K. bookseller] for comments made about the company" on his blog, The Woolamaloo Gazette. His new job at the sf-related megachain is to "improve their graphic novels and SF books side of the business".

*Blog litteraire, blit, hence 'bliter' [ not be confused with, blighter, Brit. colloq., a person [esp. as term of contempt or diparagement]
