Corporate publishers spend an incredible amount on marketing, and small and midsize publishers have to make up this giant gap with earned publicity (especially awards and book REVIEWS). Every national book review outlet that closes feels like a death knell for independent publishers.

After the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, Dr. Arthur Seyss-Inquart was appointed Commissar, reassuring the Dutch people that life would return to "normal" if they cooperated. He then introduced measures to stop resistance, and after a general strike in Amsterdam, summary executions began.

These companies want to take everything that is required for people to communicate with one another and exercise our capacity to operate in a democracy and sell it back to us as automated algorithmic decision making that will ultimately penalize us for reasons we’re prevented from seeing.

People from outside Ireland occasionally ask me, "Why is Bono, an international music titan from Ireland, not all that loved in Ireland?". The answer in its entirety is a complex one, but "He sent Dolly Parton a birthday cake and put his own name on it" goes a long way to summing it up.

We are saddened to learn of the death of Eric Huntley. An inspirational force in partnership with his wife Jessica, they were at the heart of black radical publishing and bookselling in the 70s/80s. We remember their activism with the International Book Fair and the Bookshop Joint Action Committee
