Hot Off The Press! (What Does That Mean?)

Yesterday, I told you I got a special package in the mail.

It was a book.

But not just any book.

It was my book!

I mean, a book with my name on it.

That’s right — I published a book!

And on Friday, because you’re an Atomic Homework reader, you will be able to get it for a big discount.

In the meantime, let’s look at all the Atomic Words related to books.

BOOK WORDS

So many Atomic Words about books!

print, publish, chapter, page, title, read, author, character, classic, cover, write, paragraph, literature, paper

With these words, you’re ready to talk to anyone about books and reading.

But you already know these words, right?

So let’s explore some book idioms.

HOT OFF THE PRESS

Where is a book made?

On a printing press.

And if a book, a newspaper, your presentation for work or latest Facebook update is brand new — you just published or created it — you can say it’s “Hot off the press.”

Why “hot”?

Are newspapers and books actually hot when they’re made?

Not exactly.

For a deeper explanation of “hot” and some interesting ways you can use this word, listen to today’s Atomic Homework Audio.

Cheers,
Mr. Vig
