No one goes.

Exciting Bookpost! Thanks Pan Macmillan looking forward to devouring this graphic novel Richard Ruddick Sarah Merchant - Mathew Tobin One for the group perhaps? 🤔

What does a book cost?

Back in 2015 we ran some calculations to figure out what a book costs, what it sells for, and where the money goes. We've done the sums again - for 2023 -and you head here for some grim, but hopefully also interesting, reading: galleybeggar.co.uk/what-does-a-bo…
