AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Publishing & Retail: A much-loved Wānaka online book retailer, Bookety Book Book, is shutting its bookselling arm after a discount war squeezed margins, pivoting to a recommendation-focused “Bookhub” on the same domain. Comics & Manga: Kodansha’s Attack on Titan Definitive Edition North American hardcover has been delayed “indefinitely” due to a production issue, though a new date is expected. Book Culture Events: Milagres College in Mangaluru kicked off a nine-day “Book Quest” exhibition and sale to keep reading habits growing despite digital media. Local Reading Community: Wales’ oldest Welsh-language bookshop, saved by 550 community investors, reopens after five months in temporary premises. AI & Books: The FTC is being urged to investigate AI firms accused of scanning and destroying books to train models, reigniting the fight over copyright and access. Comics Preview: Justice League Unlimited #22 arrives with Despero’s takeover of Powers Planet and chaos on the Watchtower.
