13.01.2022 What a beautiful story! Horseback book deliveries and dogs on Zoom: how a country bookshop kept a community together. https://www.theguardian.com//horseback-book-deliveries-and

11.01.2022 From Books+Publishing: "Nielsen report: over a third of listeners new to audiobook." Very exciting to see shown that digital adoption has taken a leap forward. Once/if our lives ever return to normal, and numbers settle, it is still a whole new audience. Interesting to see "younger age brackets each had higher percentages of new listeners," https://bit.ly/3je2LdC

09.01.2022 Podcast love! I shared this with my book publishing students last night as it is wonderful to find a podcast rich with information for book lovers. Created by Arthur Atwell, co-founder and MD of Electric Book Works, it is well worth a listen! https://howbooksaremade.com/

06.01.2022 Very interesting New York Times article on US chief executive of Penguin Random House, and how they weathered, and in fact thrived through this pandemic. Some interesting quotes: "While no one expected a pandemic, Penguin Random House was, in a weird way, prepared for the new retail reality." "For years, the company had been investing in infrastructure, spending $100 million on expanding and upgrading its warehouses." "This spring, the company upgraded its ability to sell boo...ks directly from its own website, bypassing bookstores, a move that could alienate big retail partners. When the coronavirus changed book-buying habits overnight, driving purchases almost entirely online, Penguin Random House was ready." Obviously, when you are the biggest, you can do so much more. But there was a lot of preparation leading to this precise moment that no one expected. A good read! https://nyti.ms/33QkCBU
