Here’s an interesting argument from the Globe & Mail that book publishers hurt themselves right out of the gate by allowing retailers to set the terms (discounts, merchandising, etc.) by which their books – even the high-demand latest releases – are sold.
It goes on to say that publishers should act like luxury good brands – Prada, Gucci, etc. – who don’t sell products as much as selling dreams and ideas, image and lifestyles.
