Now this is where the real power of ebooks and POD starts to show itself.
From The Bookseller:
Bloomsbury will bring 500 out of print titles by the likes of Alan Clark, Edith Sitwell and Bernice Rubens back into the market as digital editions this autumn with the launch of a new imprint.
Bloomsbury Reader, which will be run by digital media director Stephanie Duncan, is similar to Ed Victor’s Bedford Square Books,which he announced earlier this month. Bloomsbury Reader will publish books currently unavailable in print where all English language rights have reverted to the author or their estate and there is no edition currently in print. The books will be sold as e-books or print on demand titles at “affordable prices and to the highest quality specifications”.
Sounds promising. Maybe we will see Edith’s brother Satcheverel (sic) in ebook too. And, maybe Ivy Compton Burnett. Again, one can only hope.
