Say rather
survival obsessed publishers. The same book may be offered by half a dozen different publishers to have the rights in their area - in the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden... You buy the book online. Which one gets a cut of the revenue from the sale?
Publishing is in trouble. Smaller imprints are dying. Bigger ones are casting about for ways to reduce costs and increase revenues.
If I were a publisher, I'd be money obsessed too. I want to open my doors again tomorrow and do business, and that's an increasingly challenging task.
