http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2284/happy-workplacehappy-workers.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2284/happy-workplacehappy-workers.html The economy may be rousing from its slumber, but it’s not yet fully awake. Job numbers are improving slowly: the U.S. Department of Labor reported that an anemic 115,000 nonfarm payroll jobs were added in April 2012. Unemployment hovers stubbornly around 8%, refusing to budge much. Logic would dictate that business is a buyer’s—that is, an employer’s—market these days. ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2285/off-and-running.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2285/off-and-running.html Despite the odds—the growth of e-books, rising rent, and online discounting—bookstores continue to open and succeed. Speaking at the American Booksellers Association Forum in Medford, Mass., last month, ABA CEO Oren Teicher affirmed that membership in the organization has “stabilized,” and the number of bookstores is up slightly. PW contacted new bookseller/owners who have joined ABA over the past 18 months. Many are filling a void created by the collapse of Borders. Rebecca Glenn and Pete Ledesma, owners of the Book Frog, both worked for Borders stores. Some like Jennifer Cook, owner of Little Joe’s Books, are dipping their toes into the business for the first time and others have previously owned bookstores. A key for all, though, seems to be to think small, 400 to 2,700 sq. ft. ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2286/fsg-scientific-american.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2286/fsg-scientific-american.html Since Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Scientific American, both Macmillan brands, announced in fall 2010 that they were joining forces, Amanda Moon, senior editor of what is being called the Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux imprint, and Scientific American editor-in-chief Mariette DiChristina have been culling both of their resources to ready the publication of their first books.

The company has hired Darren Deguire, formerly with Advance Publications, as general manager, and rented office space on Broadway just south of the Flatiron Building in New York City. The first products have been drawn from material originally published for other markets, but Franks said DeAgostini plans to develop titles that originate in the U.S. as soon as possible. ]]> Fri, 18

Identity and Belief (Belhue Press) by Perry Brass has just been named a 2012 Bronze Ippy Award Winner in Young Adult Fiction from Independent Publisher. King of Angels was the only LGBT-themed book among the winning titles, as well as the only book that can be read both as an adult level fiction book and a coming-of-age novel suitable for older teens. Amos Lassen in Amose Lassen Reviews said about King of Angels: “I laughed and I cried but most of all I thought and I remembered how it was growing up in one of the most turbulent periods of American history when communities tried to come together. Accepting ourselves is part of it all and Perry Brass helps us with that in his brilliant new book. Now back to read it all over again.&rdquo... ]]> Sun, 13 May 2012 09:30:31 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2250/extended-l.a.-community-comes-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2250/extended-l.a.-community-comes-.html ]]> Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2228/job-moves-may-11-2012.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2228/job-moves-may-11-2012.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2231/tracking-amazon-fifty-shade.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2231/tracking-amazon-fifty-shade.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2232/hmh-restructuring-debt-will-f.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2232/hmh-restructuring-debt-will-f.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2233/shambhala-buys-snow-lion-publi.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2233/shambhala-buys-snow-lion-publi.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2234/authors-on-the-air-may-11-201.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2234/authors-on-the-air-may-11-201.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2235/pws-fall-announcements-dead.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2235/pws-fall-announcements-dead.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2236/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2236/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2237/the-paper-store.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2237/the-paper-store.html Paper stores were originally news agents selling newspapers, magazines, and cigars. But no more, at least for the Paper Store, headquartered in Acton, Mass. Ever since Bob Anderson, fresh out of college, purchased the original 700 sq. ft. Paper Store in Maynard, Mass., in 1964, he has tinkered with size, format, and product mix to turn it into one of the largest regional chains—and one of the fastest growing retailers—in New England. The company now has more than 1,000 employees and continues to hire as it expands. ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2238/a-happy-homecoming.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2238/a-happy-homecoming.html To say that Eamon Dolan is glad to be back at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is a bit of an understatement: “I suppose I might seem cooler if I kept my heart off my sleeve, but I am compelled to state my exact emotions: it feels simply wonderful to be back home—better even than I’d imagined.” Dolan returned to HMH in May 2011 after moving to the Penguin Press in 2007.

The increase gave the online channel, led by Amazon and BN.com, a commanding lead over bookstore chains as the largest outlet for sales. The chains, weakened by the loss of Borders in the year, accounted for only 26% of sales, down from 29% in 2010. Data from Bowker, and other sources, suggest that the gains posted by the e-tailers are being driven mostly by e-book sales. Furthermore, the online channel, much like its bricks-and-mortar competitors, is seeing, if not a decline in print book sales, at least slowing growth. ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2240/news-briefs-week-of-may-14-2.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2240/news-briefs-week-of-may-14-2.html ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2241/weinstein-books-rises-again-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2241/weinstein-books-rises-again-.html It might not have had as many lives as your average cat, but Weinstein Books has gone through more than a few reincarnations.

Now with a full-time staff of two, the latest iteration of Weinstein Books is about to release its first spate of titles. ]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700

of nine, is made up of a band of fiercely loyal book lovers. The press was taken over by publisher Bronwen Hruska in 2010.Juliet Grames, Soho’s senior editor, said, about working with her: “For our first 25 years we were a quality literary house that got great reviews, but which people hadn’t heard of. You absolutely can’t say that anymore.” Pointing to Soho’s increasing numbers, Grames added, “Our revenue has ballooned since [Hruska] started—our books are sold in channels we never imagined before. Her tenure here has seen more bestsellers than the rest of Soho’s history put together.” ]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2198/news-briefs-week-of-may-7-20.html

No, you are trodding the path of ghostly royalty for one simple reason: right here, in the area surrounding the Jacob Javits Convention Center, enough storied history has unfolded to fill a New York City version of Edward Gibbon’s multi-volume The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2142/new-day-at-archie-comics-desp.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2142/new-day-at-archie-comics-desp.html Archie Comics Publications, the home of the iconic American red-headed teenager and his Riverdale High School buddies, is reshaping its longstanding brand and revitalizing its publishing program. Based in Mamaroneck, N.Y., the 70-year-old company has long been a small but successful publisher of family friendly comics, but in recent years Archie Comics has implemented a combination of new publishing formats and provocative new content aimed at keeping the classic Archie brand youthful and relevant to a new generation of Archie fans. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2143/booths-by-numbers-bea-2012.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2143/booths-by-numbers-bea-2012.html ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2144/around-the-booths-bea-2012.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2144/around-the-booths-bea-2012.html ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2145/where-up-is-the-new-up-bea-20.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2145/where-up-is-the-new-up-bea-20.html “We finally dug ourselves out of the recession,” says Toby Cox, owner of the 44-year-old Three Lives & Company, giving voice to a sentiment expressed by a number of New York City booksellers.

Promising signs: it has grown from 3.3 million users in October 2011 to 19 million users in March 2012; it is now the third largest social media network behind Facebook and Twitter, passing LinkedIn (86 million visits in March) with its 104 million visits the same month; in April, Forbes estimated the company was worth $7.7 billion. But recently, the media have started to use the word “bubble,” pointing to the slowed growth in March, and figures that show active users actually dropped off in April. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2148/will-there-be-a-fifty-shade.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2148/will-there-be-a-fifty-shade.html Those who work in publishing—and especially those who write books—are no strangers to jealousy. Why does one title become a bestseller when another doesn’t? That sentiment has certainly bubbled up around E.L. James’s Fifty Shades trilogy. While some romance editors and authors say they don’t appreciate the mainstream media’s assertion that the erotic series is something new—the genre (as well as splintering subgenres) has been popular for well over a decade—many are acknowledging that James’s books may present an opportunity to draw more readers to romance titles, new and old. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2149/haymarket-books-rises-up.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2149/haymarket-books-rises-up.html Haymarket Books, the book publishing arm of Chicago’s progressive Center for Economic Research and Social Change, has enjoyed a 43% spike in sales this year, driven by a hot title and the Occupy movement. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2150/a-knockout-start-for-lookout-b.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2150/a-knockout-start-for-lookout-b.html Emily Smith, executive director of Lookout Books, has been in and out of the office more in the past few months than she has been in years, thanks to the success of her imprint’s very first release, a collection of new and previously published work from a 75-year-old master of the short story, best known by other short story writers. When PW first reported on Lookout at its inception in January 2011 (PW, Jan. 17, 2011), Edith Pearlman’s Binocular Vision looked like a sleeper hit in the making; since then, it’s won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the PEN/Malamud, and made it to the finals in at least four other contests, including the National Book Award for fiction. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2151/news-briefs-week-of-april-30.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2151/news-briefs-week-of-april-30.html ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2152/bea-unbound-bea-2012.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2152/bea-unbound-bea-2012.html Three years ago, when Steve Rosato took the helm at BookExpo America, the book world and the country were still reeling from the economic collapse of 2009. Amid questions about the show’s future, it retrenched that year into a two-day, midweek event, designed to save attendees and exhibitors money. But Rosato subtly expanded the show, too, offering a day to self-publishers and aligning itself with literary events around the city, steps that broadened the BEA’s relevance beyond traditional industry folk. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2153/amazon-and-texas-reach-sales-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2153/amazon-and-texas-reach-sales-t.html ]]> Fri,

and the rise of e-books.

Third Street Books in McMinnville, Ore., which expanded in 2006, is in the process of contracting and subletting a portion of its store, while Bunch of Grapes in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., is moving across the street to a 3,300-sq.-ft. location.

Still, the question being asked is what consumer segment the trade paperback is serving in a time when e-books often capture readers looking for the things paperbacks used to offer: a lower price point and a light-weight alternative to hardcovers. Although publishers remain committed to the format, many agents say the biggest shift, and the most damning, has been the demise of Borders. A number of agents PW spoke to said that with Borders gone—all agreed that one of the things Borders did best was sell literary fiction in trade paperback—the barriers to bringing a title out in trade paperback are higher than ever. ]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2091/womens-presses-tweak-their-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2091/womens-presses-tweak-their-.html Approximately a dozen women’s presses are actively publishing in the U.S. today, down from about 30 during the 1990s, when feminist publishing and bookselling were at their peak.

against, publishers and Apple over e-book pricing as a great victory for consumers. The overwhelming reaction in the book industry, however, is one of bewilderment, with many members believing that the government has no sense of how the book business really works or what the impact its actions will have long term. ]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2054/gooseberry-patch-freshens-up.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2054/gooseberry-patch-freshens-up.html Gooseberry Patch, originally founded in 1984 as a mail-order catalogue company selling old-fashioned, country-style products, began publishing cookbooks in 1992, but the Delaware, Ohio, company almost didn’t make it through the Great Recession. “Gooseberry Patch ran headlong into the economic downturn,” Brad Dunnington, the company’s CEO since December 2009, told PW. “That, in combination with the banking crisis, was a perfect storm.” Sales that had reached a high of $18 million–$20 million plummeted, making the future of the company founded by two stay-at-home mothers uncertain. In an effort to revive Gooseberry, in 2009 cofounders Vickie Hutchins and Jo Ann Martin entered into a partnership with Lazear Capital Partners, an Ohio merchant banking firm specializing in turning around ailing companies. ]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2055/how-to-give-away-500000-books.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2055/how-to-give-away-500000-books.html When looking at an effort with the scale of World Book Night U.S.—half a million books will be given away to strangers across all 50 states on April 23—it’s helpful to consider some numbers: 25,000 “givers” have volunteered to give away their allotment of books to people, many of whom they’ve never met, in their communities (5,800 towns and cities will participate); 2,200 bookstores and libraries will serve as central hubs, where givers are picking up the books; and 750 of those bookstores and libraries are holding pre-WBN receptions. ]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2056/nyu-students-stepped-up-early.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2056/nyu-students-stepped-up-early.html When World Book Night organizers expanded the book-giving event from the U.K. to the U.S. for 2012 they knew that generating buzz—and understanding—about a program with the goal of giving away 500,000 copies of 30 titles on a single day would be a challenge, given the limited budget available. So when the newly appointed WBN US executive director Carl Lennertz was approached by Andrea Chambers, director of NYU’s Center for Publishing, and offered the help of NYU’s masters in publishing students to publicize the event, it was a no-brainer. “I wept in gratitude,” Lennertz quipped. ]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2057/rebranding-at-harvard-pays-off.html

bookstores and record stores has gotten closer. Coupled with the comparisons comes an implicit warning that bookstores could share the fate of Tower, Virgin, and HMV—record stores that are all gone. While the number of independent record stores has fallen dramatically to just a couple hundred, some are more than holding their own. To find out how one indie is doing it—and also beating the odds on maintaining a profitable regional chain, PW contacted Newbury Comics, headquartered in Boston, Mass. ]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2012/the-10-standard.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2012/the-10-standard.html The major trade publishers do not appear in imminent danger of fading away. With Random House’s release of 2011 financial results late last month, the four large trade houses that report results all posted operating margins that topped 10%. Although the four companies—Lagardère Publishing (parent company of Hachette Book Group), Random House, Penguin Group, and Simon & Schuster—all use slightly different ways to measure operating earnings, the uniformity of margins was remarkably close: two companies had margins of 10.8% and two others had a 10.6% margin. ]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2013/book-publicists-step-into-publ.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/2013/book-publicists-step-into-publ.html Publishing companies typically incorporate publishing and marketing departments into their business models.

Eliot, but this year, according to Canadian independent booksellers and the shoppers who love them, March might get the title as a spate of prominent indie closures were announced across the country. Vancouver is losing its remaining four Book Warehouse locations. Nicholas Hoare is closing both his Montreal and Ottawa stores.

EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) rose 6.9%, to 185 million euros, with an operating margin of 10.6%, a full percentage point higher than 2010. Between 2007 and 2011, sales on a reported basis fell 4.8%, while operating EBIT jumped 35.0%. Cost cutting, including consolidating office space in Random’s New York headquarters, and lower returns due to higher e-book sales contributed to the higher profits in 2011. The sales decline was due to a combination of the negative impact of foreign exchange and a decline in print sales. ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1973/how-200000-books-were-given-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1973/how-200000-books-were-given-t.html Moving 200,000 books isn’t an easy task, but through the goodwill and team work of several organizations, that’s exactly what happened in an unprecedented donation of James Patterson’s own books to the United States Armed Forces. ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1974/aquafadas-easy-to-build-inter.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1974/aquafadas-easy-to-build-inter.html Aquafadas, a French digital publishing company, has launched a platform that allows publishers to build multimedia apps for children’s books, comics, magazines, and newspapers.

year, many early shop-local initiatives were started to keep Borders out. In Austin, Borders’s attempt to move across the street from Bercu’s store also led him to enlist Dan Houston and his strategic planning consultancy Civic Economics for their now classic study, in 2002, of BookPeople, Waterloo Records, and Borders, which showed for the first time the economic impact of the chains: for every $100 a customer spends, the local economy gets $13 back from a chain store, compared to $45, from a local merchant. Although Borders is gone, Barnes & Noble continues to hold on to a large slice of the bookselling pie. With Amazon poised to reach Wal-Mart proportions by the end of this decade, according to Stacy Mitchell, senior researcher with the New Rules Project of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, and the e-book onslaught, can shopping local turn the tide? ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1934/sxsw-six-new-ventures.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1934/sxsw-six-new-ventures.html What were some of the most interesting startups at SXSW held in Austin, Tex., earlier this month?

First released in 1933, the work is a historical novel based on the Turkish deportation and massacre of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915. Viking Press sold more than 34,000 copies of the 817-page novel, translated by Geoffrey Dunlop, in the first two weeks of its release.

http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1886/bam-overcomes-weak-comps.html The addition of 41 former Borders stores helped to give Books-A-Million its best holiday season in years for the quarter ended January 28, 2012, but how well that strategy will play out for the full year isn’t yet clear. While fourth quarter sales rose 10.7%, to just under $167 million, comparable store sales fell 5.7%. Earnings in the period rose to $7.5 million from $6.8 million. Executive chairman Clyde Anderson (who turned over the reins of CEO to Terry Finley last week) said in a conference call that despite the absence of Borders, customer traffic did not show a meaningful increase in the quarter. He noted that BAM and Borders stores had competed directly in only 15 locations. Asked about BAM’s future store plans, Finley told PW, “We will continue to be opportunistic in our real estate strategy, looking for underserved markets and attractive deals.” ]]> Fri, 16 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1887/the-new-press-20-years-of-pub.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1887/the-new-press-20-years-of-pub.html Twenty years after it was founded by former Pantheon publisher Andre Schiffrin as a nonprofit publisher with a mission statement to publish “in the public interest,” the New Press is on something of a roll.

retailers and other discounters. At the National Association of College Stores’ Campus Market Expo held earlier this month at the Salt Lake Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, NACS’s OnCampus Research division reported that approximately 67% of students comparison shop for textbooks, and close to half, or 43%, bypass their school stores entirely. Even when they do browse, that isn’t always with the intention of buying a book. One bookseller at a prep school in Florida found students using cell phones to photograph assigned reading. Many of NACS’s initiatives and educational sessions at CAMEX addressed shrinking margins and encouraged booksellers to create relationships with students to bring them into their stores. ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1837/tech-focus-fuels-recorded-book.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1837/tech-focus-fuels-recorded-book.html There are lots of words to describe sales conferences—“exciting” usually isn’t one of them. But that is exactly how CEO Rich Freese described Recorded Books recent sales conference, concluded last week in Scottsdale, Ariz., and this time the word might just fit. As the Public Library Association meeting kicks off this week in Philadelphia, Recorded Books hits the show floor having made significant progress toward an ambitious goal: with its OneClick Digital platform, rolled out late in 2011, the company has expanded from a large, well-regarded audiobook publisher to a “one-stop shopping” experience for audiobooks in the library market, as well as a digital aggregator and resource provider. ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1838/capra-press-revived.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1838/capra-press-revived.html When Noel Young launched Santa Barbara–based Capra Press in 1969 and began to publish a literary who’s who of writers that included Anaïs Nin, Henry Miller, Raymond Carver, Lawrence Durrell, and Ursula K.

accessories store in West Hollywood in 2001, it was a magnet for celebrities and the paparazzi that stalked them, a most unlikely retail candidate to capture the attention of New York publishers. But one decade and an additional 12 stores later, Kitson has emerged as a valuable specialty outlet for publishers, with book sales topping $1.6 million last year. “Our turn on books is 11 times a year,” says Ross, who moved to Los Angeles from Toronto after establishing himself there as a retailer by running Ice, his first specialty store. “Kitson carries about 400 titles, which might not seem like a lot, but when a book is hot we easily sell 1,000 to 1,500 copies of it. It’s a huge add-on business. Clothing has become risky, but our book sales keep growing. The books at Kitson provide entertainment shopping for the whole family,” Ross says. And sales keep growing; this January the chain sold $100,000 in books, five times more than last January. ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1707/top-cow-looks-back-to-go-forwa.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1707/top-cow-looks-back-to-go-forwa.html Top Cow Productions, having survived for two decades as a comics publisher, is mixing it up, experimenting with genres and crossover series, as well as rebranding.

Back then, almost every publisher housed within a media conglomerate was touting the ways it would use its TV-making or movie-making sister companies to sell books. Fox would boost HarperCollins. Viacom/CBS would boost Simon & Schuster. Not much came of all that talk. But Ellen Archer, president and publisher of Hyperion, is reviving synergy. In fact, Archer thinks it will be one of the keys to the success of her house in 2012. ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1709/profits-rise-again-at-simon-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1709/profits-rise-again-at-simon-.html Since e-books first became a meaningful part of a publisher’s business in 2009, results at Simon & Schuster have followed a familiar pattern—a decline in revenue but an increase in earnings. Between 2009 and 2011, total sales at S&S dipped 0.7%, but adjusted operating income has jumped 84%. Margins at the company improved from 5.8% in 2009 to 10.8% last year. And despite revenue falling by almost $100 million since 2007, S&S’s earnings and operating margins are almost the same as they were five years ago. ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1710/technology-at-the-forefront-of.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1710/technology-at-the-forefront-of.html The approximately 30 publishers exhibiting at the 2012 New York International Toy Fair, held at the Javits Center, February 11–15, saw full aisles and strong orders for the first time in several years.

Meanwhile, attendees’ mood was positive, exhibitors said, despite a 2% decline in retail sales of toys and games in the U.S. last year, to $21.18 billion, according to the NPD Group. “It’s a very good show, very upbeat,” reported John Donofrio, owner of Briarpatch, which makes board games tied to book properties including I Spy. “I think it’s going to be a good year.” ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1711/bookstore-sales-slipped-in-201.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1711/bookstore-sales-slipped-in-201.html Bookstore sales fell 0.8% in 2011, the slowest rate of decline since bookstore sales peaked at $17.18 billion in 2007, according to preliminary estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Exhibition (TIBE), which just concluded its February 1-6 run, brought together representatives from more than 60 countries on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Recently re-elected President Ma Ying-Jeou opened the book fair with a spirited speech about the state of book publishing in Taiwan as a cause for national pride.   For an island of under 23 million people he described the book output of some 40,000-45,000 titles as remarkable when compared to Mainland China’s output of 140,000-150,000 and a population of 1.3 billion. Estimates vary of the number of translated works and run as high as 80%-90% of output with half of those originating in the English language. William A. Stanton, director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) said that the Taiwan office of the Commercial Service had led the world in two of the last three years and placed second last year.

Analysts and investors were disappointed in the quarterly report, and the stock price for the nation’s largest online retailer fell almost 8% the day after the earnings report was released on Tuesday, though it bounced back a bit on Thursday. Analysts have long worried that Amazon was investing too heavily in its business, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from keeping up those investments or its stock price rising (it has a 52-week high of $246.71). The most recent report, though, renewed concerns among some analysts that Amazon was not getting a high enough return on its investments. ]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1638/now-and-then-jumps-into-digita.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1638/now-and-then-jumps-into-digita.html In early 2011, Amazon launched Kindle Singles, and among those who saw the potential of the short-form digital content model were Chandos Erwin, managing director of the digital agency Oatmeal Beach, and Ivan Dee, founder of Ivan R.

Association’s Winter Institute to get booksellers to read and fall in love with Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants, which sold more than a million copies before being turned into a film, publishers have

While bookseller attendance is capped at 500, the number of authors has grown to more than 60 at next week’s seventh annual gathering, Wi7. Some houses are using the show to build enthusiasm for summer releases like Chris Cleave’s Gold. Others are reminding booksellers about new books that have just shipped to their stores, like Andrea Cremer’s Bloodrose. ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1456/canadian-indie-booksellers-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1456/canadian-indie-booksellers-.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1457/job-moves-january-6-2012.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1457/job-moves-january-6-2012.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1458/authors-on-the-air-january-6-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1458/authors-on-the-air-january-6-.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1459/books-soft-at-target.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1459/books-soft-at-target.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1460/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1460/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1461/amanda-cook-takes-exec-editor-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1461/amanda-cook-takes-exec-editor-.html ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1462/another-makeover-for-bn.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1462/another-makeover-for-bn.html Barnes & Noble has undergone lots of changes since Len Riggio first took over the bookstore chain in 1965, and it is heading toward what could be its most dramatic makeover since Riggio bought the B.

Amazon’s aggressive demands to publishers regarding co-op and retail discounts surfaced, some insiders began suggesting that the time had come to actively explore ways to lessen publishers’ dependence on the e-tailer. ]]> Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1363/job-moves-december-15-2011.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1363/job-moves-december-15-2011.html ]]> Thu, 15 Dec

bricks-and-mortar book market, sidelines have become essential for filling the void formerly occupied by books—and keeping cash registers ringing. So much so that when Eileen McGervey opened One More Page in Arlington, Va., in January, she knew that she wanted to have not just books but also wine and chocolate. “That was for people to have multiple reasons to come into the store,” she explains. So far, it’s paying off. Her book sales have been strong, and she’s bringing in more bottles of wine than some restaurants. ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1338/merger-forms-new-dutch-house-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1338/merger-forms-new-dutch-house-.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1339/distribution-publishers-group.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1339/distribution-publishers-group.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1340/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1340/podcast-pws-week-ahead-for-.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1341/authors-on-the-air-december-9.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1341/authors-on-the-air-december-9.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1342/amazon-backlash-continues-to-b.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1342/amazon-backlash-continues-to-b.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1343/stonesong-launches-new-web-sit.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1343/stonesong-launches-new-web-sit.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1346/news-briefs-week-of-december-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1346/news-briefs-week-of-december-.html ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1347/globe-pequot-press-goes-back-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1347/globe-pequot-press-goes-back-t.html In August 2009, Jim Joseph was named president and COO of Globe Pequot Press.

The ensuing bankruptcy has since wound down, but only after three of the six JoBeth stores closed—Charlotte, N.C.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Cleveland, Ohio—and the Davis-Kidd store in Nashville. Van Uum lost both the Joseph-Beth and Davis-Kidd names along with the Lexington and Cincinnati stores and a health clinic in Cleveland to his former landlord, Robert Langley, in auction; a fourth store in Virginia went to Books-A-Million. Instead of planning a 25th anniversary celebration for JoBeth, which he cofounded in 1986, Van Uum has spent the past six months since the bankruptcy was resolved renovating the only store in the chain that he kept, the former Davis-Kidd in Memphis, renamed the Booksellers at Laurelwood. ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1293/david-shanks-pw-person-of-the.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1293/david-shanks-pw-person-of-the.html ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1294/notables-of-2011.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1294/notables-of-2011.html ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1295/off-the-shelf-ala-preview-201.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1295/off-the-shelf-ala-preview-201.html More than 10,000 librarians, publishers, authors, and vendors will gather in Dallas, January 20–24, for the 2012 American Library Association Midwinter meeting.

And although e-book sales jumped in the nine months—ahead 137.9% at the 15 reporting houses—the gain was not enough to offset the declines in the print segments. As a result, combined print and e-book sales fell 5.7% in the January–September period at the companies that take part in the AAP monthly survey. ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1304/melville-house-finds-hit-for-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1304/melville-house-finds-hit-for-t.html Although the staff at Melville House originally envisioned David Graeber’s new book as a short work on the economy, it just kept growing until Debt: The First 5,000 Years, a now 550-page comprehensive work on the impact of financial issues on people, was eventually published this past summer. For Melville House and Graeber, the book couldn’t have come at a better time: Debt was released in July when the words “debt crisis” were headlining every newspaper in the country.

to his hotel room, that got Dan Halpern into publishing. The author was Paul Bowles, it was the late 1960s, and Halpern agreed to take the writer on the long drive back to Santa Monica when Bowles tired of the party he’d been thrown at Cal State Northridge. The trip led to a conversation about poetry, which Halpern was studying, and a recommendation to travel abroad. It also led to Halpern cementing a friendship with Bowles and becoming a small press publisher. ]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1258/traverse-city-is-for-book-love.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1258/traverse-city-is-for-book-love.html Megan Raphael, executive director of the National Writers Series, a literary nonprofit organization, in Traverse City, Mich., insists that local government leaders should declare it a “book city.” ]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1259/news-briefs-week-of-november-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1259/news-briefs-week-of-november-.html ]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1260/the-underground-drives-s.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1260/the-underground-drives-s.html Founded in Cleveland 16 years ago in Joe Biel’s bedroom, Microcosm Publishing is a “self-empowerment” and alternative culture publisher and distributor in Portland, Ore., and Lansing, Kansas.

As the story goes, the industry consolidated—smaller and midsize publishers were gobbled up and brought together into six large houses that themselves are small pieces of bigger media conglomerates—and the expectations for a title’s sales and revenue rose. With consolidation, the big players began swinging for the fences, focusing on acquiring big bestsellers (or at least books they thought they could turn into big bestsellers), abandoning a model in which they could make small amounts of money on books for audiences of varying sizes. Now, as a result of these changes, the sea of authors who sold modestly at the big six are increasingly being turned away. While a cluster of small presses have sprung up that trade in specialized categories and literary fiction, more commercial authors, abandoned by their big publishers, are finding there aren’t many options in the middle. ]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1149/nea-studies-writers-statistics.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1149/nea-studies-writers-statistics.html Writers and authors are better educated and earn more on average than the rest of the U.S. workforce, according to a study by the National Endowment for the Arts, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce. The study, “Artists and Art Workers in the United States,” draws on information from the “American Community Survey (2005–2009)” and updates the NEA’s earlier study, “Artists in the Workforce, 2000–2005.” ]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1150/elf-heads-to-tv-for-the-holida.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1150/elf-heads-to-tv-for-the-holida.html It may be increasingly common for first-time authors who can’t place their book with a trade house to publish themselves. But it’s pretty rare for a self-published book to sell more than 1.5 million copies—or move to the small screen as an animated film to be aired on CBS in prime time on Black Friday, November 25. Yet former teachers Carol Aebersold and her daughter, Chanda Bell, have pulled off both feats in the past seven years since completing the manuscript for The Elf on the Shelf, a children’s book based on their Scandinavian family’s Yuletime tradition of moving an elf around the house. ]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1151/news-briefs-week-of-november-.html

had two main objectives—to reduce the size of its list and to cut editorial costs to improve the profitability of its illustrated book group. What it hadn’t counted on was the phenomenal success of its publishing partnership with Lego. “That’s been the cherry on top,” said Peter Field, a Penguin veteran who took over responsibility for DK in summer 2009 as CEO. Since the Lego license kicked in, in fall 2009, DK has sold 6.5 million units through June 2011 and has 25 titles in its catalogue. The top-sellers in the line this year are LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Sticker Collection; LEGO Harry Potter: Building the Magical World; and LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary. ]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1040/job-moves-october-20-2011.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1040/job-moves-october-20-2011.html ]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1047/authors-wow-gliba-booksellers-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1047/authors-wow-gliba-booksellers-.html For many GLIBA booksellers attending this year\'s show in Dearborn, Mich., the roster of 68 authors – especially the children\'s book authors – just couldn\'t get any better. ]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1048/linden-tree-on-the-move.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1048/linden-tree-on-the-move.html ]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1049/neiba-gets-back-to-childrens.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1049/neiba-gets-back-to-childrens.html ]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1050/licensing-hotline-october-20.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/1050/licensing-hotline-october-20.html After a decades-long hiatus, Charles Schulz\'s Peanuts characters will make their way back into comic book stores, thanks to a license between BOOM!

The change in the division began last October when Declan Moore, who began at NGS in 1995, was appointed executive v-p for the society and president of publishing. Shortly after his appointment, Moore asked Melina Bellows, chief creative officer of Kids and Families for NGS, who worked on children’s books, to oversee editorial for adult books as well. ]]> Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/987/history-press-marches-on.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/987/history-press-marches-on.html In a time of change in the book industry, the History Press, an independent publisher in Charleston, S.C., is doing a brisk business in titles designed specifically for local markets. From 20 books in its inaugural year of 2004, History Press is on track to release 325 books in 2011. The company currently boasts 17 different series, including Hidden History, True Crime, American Legends, Food & Drink, plus a Civil War Sesquicentennial series, started in 2009. And its reach, in terms of regions covered, is expanding westward; this month and next, History Press releases its first two Oregon titles, Hidden History of Civil War Oregon (yes, the Civil War did reach Oregon) by Randol B.

Her book-and-CD set, When You Wish upon a Star, illustrated by Eric Puybaret, will be released this month with a 100,000-copy first printing, the largest in Charlesbridge’s 22-year-history. ]]> Fri,

http://www.pubmatch.com/news/858/print-declines-outpace-digital.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/858/print-declines-outpace-digital.html Sales of print books in the major trade categories fell 22.9% in the first six months of 2011 at the houses that report figures to the Association of American Publishers. The declines were greatest among the adult segments, with sales down by more than 20% in the hardcover, trade paperback, and mass market paperback categories. While e-book sales jumped 161.3% in the six-month period, the gain was not enough to offset the decline in print, and combined e-book and print book revenue fell 8.6% at the reporting trade publishers. Print book sales were no doubt hurt by the demise of Borders, which sold few new titles from the major houses during the going-out-of-business sales conducted at closing stores. ]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011

Amid the summer calm, though, many are eyeing Amazon’s new publishing unit, Amazon Publishing, which was unveiled just before BEA and which has quietly, some might say secretively, been staffing up.

http://www.pubmatch.com/news/538/selling-after-borders.html It\'s no secret that Borders was hemorrhaging money long before it sought chapter bankruptcy protection five months ago. Because of the company\'s shaky finances, most publishers began transitioning sales to other outlets long before the bankruptcy filing. Even so, the crippled chain moved a lot of books; it was the nation\'s #3 bookseller, with 14% of the market last year, according to Bowker. ]]> Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/539/a-world-without-borders.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/539/a-world-without-borders.html It might seem only reasonable for independents to gloat, at least a little, now that one of their biggest competitors, Borders Book Group, which had 1,249 stores in 2003, has begun closing its remaining 399 stores. But the response from indies to Borders\'s demise has been muted by the potential impact on the overall health of the bookselling business and the readers it serves. ]]> Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:00:00

But with a new partnership with the American Booksellers Association to help get frontlist and midlist titles from mainstream houses (something that has eluded ODB to date), an agreement with HarperCollins for some backlist titles with the promise of new releases at some point in the future, and more involvement from Xerox, the EBM could be poised to become a bookstore staple. ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/392/promotions-additions-at-pw.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/392/promotions-additions-at-pw.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/393/news-briefs-week-of-613201.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/393/news-briefs-week-of-613201.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/394/akashic-to-launch-open-lens-im.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/394/akashic-to-launch-open-lens-im.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/395/siglio-press-merging-literatu.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/395/siglio-press-merging-literatu.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/396/distribution-ws-publishing-mo.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/396/distribution-ws-publishing-mo.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/397/amazon-publishing-announces-su.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/397/amazon-publishing-announces-su.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/398/borders-cuts-new-closing-list-.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/398/borders-cuts-new-closing-list-.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/399/comings-and-goings-june-13-2.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/399/comings-and-goings-june-13-2.html ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/400/canadian-postal-strike-has-e-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/400/canadian-postal-strike-has-e-t.html ]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/401/job-moves-june-10-2011.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/401/job-moves-june-10-2011.html ]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/402/kids-ink-turns-25.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/402/kids-ink-turns-25.html ]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/403/the-other-black-friday-for-chi.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/403/the-other-black-friday-for-chi.html ]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/303/bea-2011-childrens-books-at.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/303/bea-2011-childrens-books-at.html ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/304/bea-2011-writing-up-ya-autho.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/304/bea-2011-writing-up-ya-autho.html ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/305/bea-2011-ya-authors-crusade-t.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/305/bea-2011-ya-authors-crusade-t.html ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/306/bea-2011-the-strategy-of-in-s.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/306/bea-2011-the-strategy-of-in-s.html ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/307/bea-2011-guys-read-thrill.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/307/bea-2011-guys-read-thrill.html ]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/300/finding-graphic-novels-in-unex.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/300/finding-graphic-novels-in-unex.html ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/301/hot-fall-graphic-novels-for-li.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/301/hot-fall-graphic-novels-for-li.html ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/302/2011-bea-attendance-down-sligh.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/302/2011-bea-attendance-down-sligh.html ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/299/a-better-vibe-at-bea-2011.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/299/a-better-vibe-at-bea-2011.html With the effect of the recession steadily, if slowly, fading, and the industry getting a better grasp on the role e-books will play in its future, the 2011 edition of BookExpo America was the most vibrant since the economy collapsed in late 2007. BEA event director Steve Rosato noted that with the book business and the economy improving, there were less than 10 cancellations for booth space compared to more than 20 last year. \"It was nothing at all like the past few years, particularly 2008 when it seemed like one booth in, one booth out,\" Rosato said. ]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Liz Thomson reports.   If we look back, on New Year’s Eve, as we inevitably will, not just on the past year but on the first decade of the 21st century, there is much to make us downcast. But if, geopolitically, relations between the Arab world and the West have often been deeply troubled, in terms of international publishing relationships have grown stronger as each side recognises that, culturally and commercially, there is much to be gained by forging closer ties.

Abu Dhabi, 120 kilometers southwest of Dubai, tends to be an afterthought, despite its status as the capital city of the UAE. It's high time for perceptions to change. There is ample evidence pointing to the rise of Abu Dhabi as the region's cultural center, and much of its progress in literature, publishing and reading is attributed to one organization: the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH).

Gloria Bailey, manager of international book fairs at the Publishers Association, met Bologna Director Roberta Chinni at the recent Beijing Book Fair, and learned that the fair had also received complains about the curtailment from publishers in France, Switzerland and Australia.

But rather than celebrate and serve the hobbyists, we expect them to shell out ever more money for the books we keep throwing at them (a half million English-language books in 2008 in the U.S.). Cutting back might work for individual companies, but not for an industry — s/he who truly believe that the best thing for our customers is less choice shouldn’t let the door hit them on the way out of this industry, indeed this culture. We’ve built a massive supply chain system for connecting writers and readers because it suits us, but it clearly doesn’t suit most writers or readers. The ones getting their advances cut right now are a small minority of writers (working in any language today); we  should not weep for them, most were overpaid anyway.

To quote Apple's ubiquitous iPhone slogan, “There's an app for that.” Without question, the proliferation of smartphones is rapidly changing the way we think about mobile computing—and in the coming months and years, they may very well change the way we think about books. Since Apple launched its App Store in June 2008, the market for apps—those little programs you download to your smart phone (iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, etc.) to make them do things other than make and receive calls—is booming. Just a year from its launch, Apple now offers more than 50,000 apps in its store, ranging from arcade games to GPS technology that can direct you to the nearest hoagie. And, of course, apps let you read books on you... ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/17/iraqi-egyptian-publishers-ent.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/17/iraqi-egyptian-publishers-ent.html By Publishingperspectives.com By Chip Rossetti ABU DHABI: KITAB, the joint venture of the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and the Frankfurt Book Fair, recently held the first of two five-day CEO-level training programs it has organized this year for publishers from the Arab world. Nineteen publishers from eight Arab countries attended a series of workshops in Abu Dhabi from June 14 to 18, all with the aim of increasing the level of professionalism in the Arabic book publishing industry. A second session for the CEOs will be held this December 6 to 10, with sessions for mid-management publishing professionals from September 27 to October 1 and November 8 to 12.

Instead, newspapers "sell your attention; they pay for it with their editors and writers." This statement, in many ways, framed the panel's discussion about content, what form it may take and how it's delivered. "[The newspapers] don't own your attention, and unless they get it back, they can't win you with content."   It's no longer about just hardcover versus paperback, but also being able to explain to customers about the pros and cons of the Kindle or other e-readers, said Jenn Northington, events and marketing manager at the King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, Utah.

But with e-books, Ramy Habeeb, founder of the Egypt-based publisher Kotobarabia, has managed to bypass both seemingly intractable problems. As the first e-publisher devoted exclusively to Arabic-lan... ]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/4/140-character-confab-listenin.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/4/140-character-confab-listenin.html By Publishers Weekly Publishersweekly.com 140 Character Confab: Listening To and Learning About Twitter By Calvin Reid -- Publishers Weekly, 6/19/2009 8:09:00 AM There were two book panels at the recent 140 Characters Conference, a two-day convention held in New York focused on the pervasive influence of Twitter on seemingly everything, but it became clear that the specific content of those 2 panels—indeed all of the panels at event—was a secondary consideration.

The audience for comics historically skews young and very male. As it turns out, that\'s just what libraries love about carrying graphic novels--they reel in boys, who are otherwise too often absent from the stacks. ]]> Mon, 20 May 2002 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.pubmatch.com/news/158/graphic-novels-draw-new-buyers.html http://www.pubmatch.com/news/158/graphic-novels-draw-new-buyers.html ]]> Wed, 08 May 2002 00:00:00 -0700
