Description

NO INDUSTRY FRETS about its future more than publishing. "How do you make a small fortune in publishing? Start out with a large fortune" runs one of the gallows-humor jokes told by publishers for the better part of a century now. The latest round of handwringing occasioned by the state of the economy, Kindle, Amazon's aggressive advance, the teetering of Borders, the declining percentage of Americans who read--things any publisher worth his salt would be happy to discuss if you have a spare hour--is not exactly out of character. Perhaps things are different this time. The digital age is certainly destroying the newspaper and magazine industries. (And who needs news and journalism when we can just comment on one another's opinions all day?) But what about book publishing? Is the Economist right to speculate, as it did in February, that it "seems likely that, eventually, only books that have value as souvenirs, gifts or artefacts will remain bound in paper"?
