Notes: Amazon/Toby Press Deal; Lord of Misrule on Order

Amazon plans to acquire the publication rights to approximately 121 books, representing the works of 61 authors, currently published by the Toby Press. AmazonEncore and AmazonCrossing will re-publish the titles as both print and Kindle editions in the U.S. and globally in cases where authors choose to make their works available. Kindle editions will be available for Kindle devices and Kindle apps; print editions will be available on Amazon's websites worldwide, as well as in bookstores throughout the U.S., U.K. and Germany.

"Matthew Miller and his team at the Toby Press have done a wonderful job of building a first-class list of literary fiction. We're excited to expand the audience of these titles, some of which have never been published digitally before, and introduce them to readers everywhere," said Jeff Belle, v-p, Amazon.com Books.

Miller, founder of the Toby Press, added: "As we transition our business in a new direction, we're very excited to be able to work with Amazon to make sure every one of our authors continues to receive the attention they deserve."
