James Daunt and David Shelley Head for LBF - Publishing Perspectives

It's a busy time for booksellers.

Today, Panzer found more information about the London Book Fair (LBF) at the Publishing Perspectives site.

 

In his post Porter Anderson gives information about James Daunt, CEO of Barnes and Noble, and David Shelley, CEO of Hachette Book Group and Hachette UK. The information consists of quotes from interviews and from upcoming and past presentations.

 

Panzer says, "For a look at what the coming year in bookselling is projected to be like, you'll want to read this post."

 

Note: This is a long post. You'll need to decide what you want to bring to snack on while you read.

Hachette U. K. Acquires Bookouture - Publishers' Weekly

I've been one busy kitty today.

Panzer is helping Mom update Cat Wisdom for Humans, so he made a very quick trip into the Catosphere today. Our hurrying kitty stopped in at the Publishers' Weekly site. With a little digging he found a post about Hachette U. K.

According to the post by John Maher, Tim Hely Hutchinson, Hachette U. K. CEO, announced the acquisition of digital publisher Bookouture. Oliver Rhodes, CEO and founder of Bookouture, will remain in that capacity. Bookoutre will stay in its current location and all employees will remain with the company. Bookouture's digital authors can now be seamlessly published by Hachette U. K. Little, Brown print publishing arm.

Panzer says, "Bookouture sure has grown in only four years."

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