Just as long as keep publishing us. How they do it doesn't bother me.

This is really sad.

Book publishing is a strange beast or industry anyway; but if you thought it was difficult before to have a NF book published, this news--not unexpected--now means that it will be even more difficult.

Don't give up hope people!!

It's going to be hard saying "Harper" without the "Collins" attached. What's next, Simon without the Schuster? FS&G without the G?

Great economy.

More importantly, more scary, they've been incredibly slow paying royalties. Dun dun duuuun.
