University presses: in no dangerUniversity presses are publishing plenty of books and doing well-enough by sticking to their niche guns. Home

Real ChicklitNone of this how many boys can I slew with one come hither look books. Chicklit by real chicks, I mean. Are we destined for small press? "People don't sell us rights without having tried the big houses first. So most of these books have been turned down by quite a few editors before they come to us," he said. "The big publishers are cutting back on the number of titles they publish. They are counting more and more on big books that their marketing people think can sell a shedload of copies. They've become more conservative, which is good news for us." Home

The state of the chapbookVery interesting piece on the importance of chapbooks. Lady Ninja has the only other interesting essay on this subject that I've ever read. When it's finally published in some musty sociology journal, I'll see if she'll let me reprint it here. Let me rephrase that: I'll beg her to let me reprint it here. (From Moby) Home

Small presses, big businessApparently everything we've ever learned about small presses was wrong. They're lighting their stogies with c-notes, baby. Abraham said that traditional studies released by the study group, the Association of American Publishers and others assume that the solid majority of book sales comes from the larger organizations, with the top 50 making at least $20 billion out of a $28 billion market. Wednesday's report, titled "Under the Radar," asserts that the industry is both larger and less concentrated than previously believed. Home

I'd subscribe to that one (though by placing a standing order, at a 40% discount, one might be able to contribute a bit more and get some pretty damned good books in the bargain. I've done so for a couple years, and have regretted nary a dime). Losing PQ will be catastrophic: they publish the best literart fiction in the country, and are one of the few presses willing to publish books of Canadian literary criticism. This, in some ways, is an even more important contribution. And CNQ is one of the few sane outposts in the Atwoodian wilderness. Compare their backlist over the last 20 years to any other press: Ray & Russell Smith, Heighton, Lyon, Winter, Ormsby, Starnino, Helwig, Adderson, English, Norman Levine, Blaise, Page, Rooke, Griggs. Metcalf, obviously. And we're just scratching the surface.

This is sad. Any chance Bookninja could help in a fundraising campaign? I'm going to go put a couple of PQ titles I've been meaning to buy on order right now.

Porcupine on endangered listDue to loss of habitat and human disregard, The Porcupine's Quill will be extinct by 2007. Field study analyst and environmental celebrity, Annika Van Binder suggests that the small, but clever, creature just wasn't flamboyant enough to meet the changing climate. She sniffed, bit her lip and choked out, "I'll miss the ugly little things. They were too damn intelligent for their own good." Home
