Random House Teases "Surprise" Release

Written by Jon Williams

Something big is coming. Random House sent a notice this week to alert distributors about a major new title to be released on December 6. They're keeping a tight lid on exactly what it is, though: referred to only as Untitled, even Random House employees are being kept in the dark about the project's nature. It is being called, however, a "major media event."

What could this top secret title be? Your guess is as good as ours. All we know is that it’s billed as a “wonderful surprise” that’s “bound to become a classic.” Feel free to post your speculation in the comments section below.

Midwest Tape will bring you the details on this intriguing new title as they become available. Keep an eye on our blog and our company homepage for up-to-the-minute information.
