Angus & Robertson: no books please, we're idiots

Angus and Robertson have announced their intention to stop selling books from small and mid sized publishers, unless those publishers agree to pay thousands of dollars for the privilege.

The response from Michael Rakusin of Tower Books makes me want to rush out and buy a bunch of their books – from anywhere but A&R.

Many thanks to Charlie Rimmer of Angus and Robertson: you’ve saved me the trouble of ever again wasting my time in an A&R store.
