		<description><![CDATA[If the internet has proven anything, it&#8217;s that if someone famous does something, normos (everyone who is non-famous) will also do it in a misjudged attempt to be famous. That, and the fact there&#8217;s no such thing as private messages. Both these lessons came to the fore last week in the aftermath of the London Book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week saw the launch of Bookish in the US – a new, and frankly bloody stunning book discovery/online retailer (or as I call them, a &#8216;social retailer&#8217;). They&#8217;ve got a brilliant pitch, a stunning site, and features the rest of us have been discussing for a while that we thought may never come to fruition. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week was the Futurebook Conference 2012, run by The Bookseller – a must-attend for most of the publishing industry that goes well beyond the book to look at how our rapidly-changing industry has evolved over the past year, and what our major concerns are at the moment. With an impressive program covering agents, international [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The two companies have not reached agreement and there is no certainty that the discussions will lead to a transaction.&#8221; I think it&#8217;s safe to say it is far too early for us to be predicting what colour hair children of a union between Penguin and Random House would lead to, given they themselves haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week saw the declaration by Amazon that the dissolution of agency pricing in the US was a &#8220;big win for customer&#8220; and that they look forward to lowering prices on more ebooks in the future. It&#8217;s slightly surreal for me to read that lower ebook prices is something anyone would &#8216;look forward&#8217; to, given how [...]]]></description>
