Holiday Book Sales Cheer Book Sellers

1/6/2011

 
Sarah Weinman: "Coming out of the December holiday, positive sales reports from Barnes & Noble and Amazon gave publishers some cheer, but news from Borders looks bleak. A Borders bankruptcy seems increasingly likely in 2011. If Borders defaults on its debts to publishers, means a sizable chunk of the trade book business, somewhere around 10% of overall market, will vanish overnight."
