Iinteresting Reading Elsewhere---Books Coilumn at NYTat

In an interesting piece titled "Orders Cut, as Publisher and Retailer Quarrel" reporter Leslie Kaufman chronicles an escalating battle between Simon and Schuster and Barnes and Noble. The piece is here.

Considering both sides have serious economic issues, this seems very stupid in my opinion. Once again the small authors will suffer while the big boys fight. The only outcome of this will be to encourage most authors to self publish through Amazon and other platforms.
