HMH Trade Sales Down 15% in Q2 - Publishers Weekly


Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the pile of posts there he discovered one about Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH).

Don't sugar-coat it. Just tell the truth.
According to Jim Milliot, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) reported the company's 2018 second quarter trade sales were down 15 percent compared to the same time period in 2017. The company attributed the downturn to lower backlist, ebook and frontlist sales.

Panzer says,  "Hmm ... Lower backlist, ebook and frontlist sales? ... Why don't they just say all our sales were down?"

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and half a muffin for today's reading selection.
