Book note: Driving Mr. Yogi

Harvey Araton's February column in the New York Times about the spring training friendship between Yogi Berra and former Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry is heading to bookshelves. Araton will write "Driving Mr. Yogi" with the participation of Yogi and Guidry, for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, to publish next spring, says Publishers Lunch.

Noted: Summer reading lists are all the rage online. Here's an entry from NPR's Rachel Syme.
