Thank you very much to everyone who voted over the last several days for a favourite cover for Taylor Thornburg’s new novel Agathe, 6:00 p.m. to 7:27. Taylor and myself are very excited to present you with the cover.
In the last few days a new author has joined the Lost Telegram Press list. He is from Chicago, Illinois and that is all I will tell you at the moment as he is preparing the words to introduce himself, which I will post here in the next few days
The Bookseller reported on Feb. 12 in an article by Heloise Wood, that a number of factors have been making it difficult for children’s bookshops in London to survive. Interestingly this is also a case where fixed book pricing (FBP), which I talked about here recently, could help.
Three months ago, the University of Toronto Press (UTP) reported that it is facing significant financial issues because of lack of space at its three storage locations in Ontario as well as the need to maintain these spaces.
Fixed book pricing (FBP) has been a topic only sparingly on the agenda of some politicians in Canada. Quebec’s Minister of Culture tabled a provincial law back in 2013 for a FBP. Meant to bolster the province’s book industry, it used the model from France which made it illegal to discount a book more than 5% off the cover price.
The ‘book’ is just a concept. It is nothing more. It can be anything once that idea is understood.
