Booksellers resist Amazon’s latest disruption
“Amazon inspires anxiety just about everywhere, but its publishing arm is getting pushback from all sorts of booksellers, who are scorning the imprint’s most prominent title, Timothy Ferriss’s ‘The 4-Hour Chef,'” writes the New York Times. The book is a follow-up to Ferriss’s “The 4-Hour Workweek,” which sold nearly half-million copies. Although signing Ferriss was widely considered a smart move by Amazon, the backlash from brick and mortar book stores could negatively affect book sales.
