When our friends at Ingram encouraged us to max out the capabilities of print-on-demand with the big keepsake, case-bound edition of our book memorializing THE TRIAL, we never imagined we would find ourselves as the No. 1 new release in antitrust law! (And that’s ahead of both Ian Walden’s Telecommunications Law and Regulation and Conor Quigley’s European State Aid Law and Policy.) We can guarantee you THE TRIAL is a better read, as well as a great gift for the publishing person in your life. Buy the 6.7 pound, 1,994-page printed edition here (for free prime delivery); or from BN, […]

The Trial Under (Or Instead of?) The Tree
It takes a while for the metadata for our impressively fat, 6.7 pound printed hardcover edition of THE TRIAL: The DOJ’s Suit to Block Penguin Random House’s Acquisition of Simon & Schuster to populate throughout the retail chain — but we’re happy to report some mainstream alternatives to our own Aerio-powered storefront. Prime members can stick Amazon with the full shipping cost and still receive this big beauty promptly. And if you find our retail price daunting, they’ll even offer you an installment plan. Barnes & Noble customers can purchase online now as well.
Gunty, Perry Win National Book Awards
The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty (Knopf) won the National Book Award for fiction at the 73rd annual awards ceremony—resuming an in-person event for the first time since 2019. Gunty, who didn’t prepare a speech, thanked her fellow nominees for “putting their work into the world.” She referenced something Sharon Olds had said at an event the previous day, “How we’ve been preparing to put forth actions for the good, and that’s why we don’t have to be afraid. And when I think about everyone else on this list, that’s what each of those books accomplished, as different as they may […]

It takes at least a few posts to explain just how much material we have packed into our new ebook THE TRIAL. Yes, it has the full opening and closing arguments; the full public testimony of 22 witnesses; Judge Pan’s critical (and lengthy) ruling disallowing Penguin Random House’s evidence about their projected post-merger cost savings and increased revenues; and key pre- and post-trial documents. And yes, at every step of the way it includes the Publishers Lunch overviews and analysis. But that’s not all, of course. At the end, we have culled a selection of over 100 pages of the […]
