Barnes & Noble to get the oldest indie bookstore on the West Coast
When Barnes & Noble bought a rag-down Denver cover last year, I wondered what the next step would be. I had a hard time imagining it was worth a one-off. That makes much more sense as a trial balloon. And it appears that B&N has been enough to attack again. This time, Books, Inc., Bay Area bookstore. is in financial trouble like a blurry cover. The acquisition appears to be a little bigger in terms of footprint. BooksInc has 10 physical locations at San Francisco airport, including two. Barnes and Noble says their plans are for Books Inc, which “maintains an independent identity.” The acquisition remains subject to court approval. Very, very interesting.
James Patterson distributes 12 writers for $500,000 to complete the book
Librarians may get tired of boxing James Patterson titles, but it’s not like humans aren’t giving back. His latest: 12 “emerging writers” each $50,000 to get the book done. Patterson worked with many literary organizations (Pen, the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, etc.) to obtain hundreds of submissions he himself reviewed. The winners ranged from genres, but the exact criteria for grants are not clear, and there is no complete list of authors who received them.
