The Value of Book Publishers

Where is book publishing at and where is it going? Bernard Lunn tackles this question in his two-part article, Bits of Destruction Hit the Book Publishing Business, giving a fairly thorough overview of how digitization is changing the industry.

Lunn looks at the waves of destruction hitting publishing and how these waves are going to affect the multi-billion dollar market and the percentage everyone involved takes.

Is Amazon taking too much of the pie? Should authors be earning more? Do publishers have a role to play in this new publishing world?

While Lunn suggests that in the future, authors will play a bigger part in publishing their books, where does this leave publishers and the value they provide?
