  • Why Not Change? BEA in 2009

    What a difference a year makes! Last May, the Dow was well over 13,000; the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were squabbling over unseated delegates, and Sarah Palin was a nobody. In publishing, 39-year-old Markus Dohle was about to take the reins at Random House, Kindle was a curiosity and Twitter was the nobody.

  • What’s BEA’s Mission?

    I read your article on the BEA and BEC (Oct. 6). Here’s my take: I have been a book rep for 33+ years (and was a bookseller for a couple of years before that). I’ve represented major New York publishers, regional Northwest publishers, a regional wholesaler and currently I am a commission rep.
