You may have heard about the business battle between online book-and-everything-else store Amazon and publishing giant Hachette, and as with everything in the news, I’m sure you wondered “does this have any impact on Peanuts books?”
Well, yes. Let’s considered The Peanuts Collection, a book written by, well, me, and published by Hachette subsidiary Little, Brown, and Company. If you try to buy it from Amazon at the moment, you’ll find that it’s at full list price and won’t ship for one to three weeks. Meanwhile, Barnes & Noble has it for 35% off, and immediate shipping.
So if Amazon seems to have trouble getting a book you want to order, you may want to look elsewhere.
