READ BETWEEN THE LINES SHELVED: IT SEEMS, LIKE THE SPEARS GUIDE TO PARENTING, SOME BOOKS NEED A LITTLE MORE WORK.


Byline: STEVE DILBECK

Think the publishing world has been rocked by the news Britney Spears' mommy won't have her guidebook on parenting released next spring?

Just because it turned out her other daughter -- 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Jamie Lynn can refer to:
  • Jamie-Lynn Sigler (born 1981), actress on The Sopranos
  • Jamie Lynn Spears (born 1991), actress on Zoey 101
  • Jamie Lynn (porn star) (born 1981), Penthouse model
  • Jaime Lynn (born 1980), Playboy model
 -- is pregnant?

Alas, this insightful opus on Christian parenting in a tabloid world having to be permanently shelved is nothing new.

Publishers are forced to set back the release of books all the time. You know, circumstances and all.

Why, even the world of sports had to see several books delayed this year. If that Spears piece ever hits the local bookstores, it could be competing with these postponed sports books:
