OMG: NBM Moves To CRP’s IPG

Veteran publisher NBM is moving its book business to Independent Publishers Group, owned for years by moderate-sized publisher Chicago Review Press. The relationship will formally begin June 1. As the article in the link points out, NBM has distributed itself for the vast majority of its decades in existence; its last formal book distributor was a mid-1980s arrangement with PGW that last for just a couple of years. IPG distributed the Stan Lee book I did several years ago, and I thought they did a great job reaching into several corners of the book market and asking smart questions as to how the product might be presented to booksellers; if it's a direction in which they want to go, I can imagine them being a good partner for a number of publishers of NBM's size and scope -- they already have some clients with book of that kind, but no one of NBM's particular focus.

The company's popular Papercutz books will remain with Macmillan.
