Bookselling
Micawber’s Books in St. Paul is closing for good on April 14, after owner Tom Bielenberg slipped on ice and badly injured himself. Bielenberg, who has owned the bookstore since 2003, broke his pelvis and two ribs and dislocated several vertebrae, and will need months of rehab. He said, “I’m realizing it’s a long haul. I can’t just not take in money for three or four months. People volunteering is great, but it would be hard to put together.” 

Distribution
Hopkins Fulfillment Services will distribute Central European University Press starting in April.

NewSouth Books will be Independent Publishers Group‘s trade distribution partner in Australia starting August 1. Also at IPG, Trafalgar Square Publishing will begin distributing Koenemann in April, and Ice House Books, Muswell Press, and Pan Macmillan Australia in July.
