| Just when the big guys in the publishing industry are annoucing cutbacks, a small press, Samhain, annouces it has acquired Linden Bay Romance. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| It's good to see not everyone is feeling the pinch and are able to grasp new opportunity.  |

| Interesting. Hope it don't choke 'em.
A magazine I worked and guest-edited for--Young Athlete--bought Inside Sports back in the seventies. A classic "cat eats the canary" trick-leveraged take over.
And it kiled them. They just couldn't digest the payment structure and baloons and all the fiscal flash the nabbed the much larger company with.
So good luck to them. |

| Classic capitalism teaches that "pinches" are opportunities. When companies falter or go down, it creates a cheap chance to snap them up.
I haven't seen anything about whether the supposed falloffs in book sales have created surges in cheaper alternatives like eBooks. |
