New York Times Does Some Research
Today, the New York Times ran just about the same article as the Washington Post did yesterday. It is comforting to note, however, that finally a major newspaper (after the Chicago Tribune bungled it, then yesterday’s WP article) writes about online/used bookselling and mentions the academic study we’ve posted many times. Again, this study demonstrates that these sales do not “devastate” new book sales, thereby hurting publishers and authors. It is good to see the writers of one major newspaper are doing their homework.
