Oprah has decided to launch a series of hardback books spun off from stories from her magazine. “The deal with Oxmoor reflects continued audience growth for Ms. Winfrey and her feel-good message directed mainly at women. Ratings for her daily talk show are the highest they’ve been in years. The May issue of the magazine, which will mark the its fifth anniversary, will be packed with 200-plus pages of ads–a record for the title.”
