Backroom Manuevering on Books?

January 30, 2010 11:40:29.541

Is MacMillan engaged in some kind of hardball with online vendors? Venture Beat noticed that they've disappeared from Amazon's catalog:

Go to Amazon.com. Search for any publication by Macmillan, one of the world's largest publishing firms. The Prince of Silicon Valley, perhaps, or Sarah's Key. Or last year's huge #1 bestseller The Gathering Storm.

No details, and everyone seems to be staying quiet - sounds like one of those periodic royalty rate battles to me...

Nothing new. It's probably the result of discount negoatiations. In 2004, Amazon.de delisted all books of publisher "Diogenes", after failed negotiations
