Another large exhibitor, Ingram Content Group, told PL the company will not attend London Book Fair after informing staff on Friday morning. Macmillan Trade US also withdrew on Friday afternoon. Spokesperson Erin Coffey confirmed the publisher “will not be participating in the London Book Fair, out of concern for the health and safety of our employees.” The announcements follow Simon & Schuster’s Friday morning decision to skip the event, and individual withdrawals by employees and teams at other houses that have made attendance optional.
