AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

AI & Publishing Rights: Bloomsbury is set to earn about $18.7m (£14m) from its copyright settlement with Anthropic, a reminder that AI training and book rights are now big money. Book Trade & Community: Raymond Briggs’s personal library has gone on sale at Oxfam, with more than 1,000 donated titles giving fans a peek at the influences behind his work. Local Reading Culture: The Pioneer Valley Bookstore Crawl returns with an expanded lineup of 16 independent shops and a passport-style scavenger hunt running through August. New Book Deals: Riverrun (John Murray Group) acquired Anna Richmond’s debut novel Tide, while Duckworth acquired Andrea Mechelli’s neuroscience title on nature and mental health. Tech Meets Books/Media: Coinbase rolled out agent payments and trading tools for the AI agent economy, signaling how “automation” is spreading across online services.
