Them’s fightin’ words
An editorial in Toronto’s Eye Weekly takes great exception to Heather Reisman’s continuing efforts to transform the Indigo chain into a cultural department store, a trend that many people fear will mean less space and attention for actual books. What makes this trend particularly dangerous, the editorial argues, is that Indigo/Chapters already controls 70% of Canada’s “bookstore business,” a percentage long claimed by many independent booksellers and publishers but disputed by the chain as an exaggeration.
