News Presented Without Comment

Bertelsmann may be selling its entire Direct Group; Morgan Stanley is trying to broker the sale of US holdings already.

Some may remember that Bertelsmann bought half of the book portion of the US business from Time Warner last year, and laid off 400 people in Pennsylvania and 280 in New York. Forbes, at the time, estimated the sale cost Bertelsmann a sum in "the lower hundreds of millions of US dollars."

Who Is This Hornswoggler?

Andrew Wheeler
Andrew Wheeler was Senior Editor of the Science Fiction Book Club and then moved into marketing. He currently works for Thomson Reuters as Manager, Content Marketing, focused on SaaS products to legal professionals. He was a judge for the 2005 World Fantasy Awards and the 2008 Eisner Awards. He also reviewed a book a day multiple times. He lives with The Wife and two mostly tame children (Thing One, born 1998; and Thing Two, born 2000) in suburban New Jersey. He has been known to drive a minivan, and nearly all of his writings are best read in a tone of bemused sarcasm. Antick Musings’s manifesto is here. All opinions expressed here are entirely those of Andrew Wheeler, and no one else. There are many Andrew Wheelers in the world; this may not be the one you expect.
