More Publishers = More Sales, Right?



In noting the statement from Publisher's Weekly that "Diamond Book Distributors expects to see its U.S. sales increase 17% this year, according to Kuo-Yu Liang, v-p of sales and marketing," it might help to place things in context to read the next sentence from that same article: "Diamond also continues to add publishers."

In 2005 the book distribution arm of Steve Geppi's comics empire will take advantage of a full year in exclusivity arrangements with Marvel, Dynamic Forces, Seven Seas, Digital Manga, Meisha Merlin, Eros Comix and Studio Foglio, in addition to any others I am unable to recall or easily find via search. As Marvel all by itself plans to pump out trade product in the first half of 2005 as if future movie deals depended on it, I'd say an upswing in sales for their distributor is really, really likely.
