Guardian "Books" section. Relegation from the Premier league.

Belatedly, I want to complain about the relegation of the "books" tab at Guardian.co.uk to the "culture" page. No longer can I log directly on to the main guardian website, briefly catch the news headlines and then navigate directly to the books section by clicking a button on the header.

It's rather curmudgeonly I know to feel that books deserve a special place outside the rest of culture but everybody knows that books are special. I also wouldn't mind if they gave Television and Movies and whatever the hell else they pleased equal access to a tab on the main page but I want them to bring books back.
