Digital platforms continue to erode and undermine the economic model for print, and large publishing houses are now often part of even larger entities that
sell lots of other stuff at much bigger margins,
causing publishers to wager big money on what they believe to be the most commercial
books, often at the expense of «smaller»
more important ones.
