penguin house has $2 billions lying around???
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:26:33 No. 4455
>>4449 What books do they have or why is this newsworthy? I know penguin has many shit but cheap editions. That's as much as I know about them.
>>4454 They might have also offered stock and valuated it.

>>4454 Nvm, it was 2 bil cash. It will be the largest publishing house it seems.

>>4453 >Is that good or bad? Probably bad as it might be turning into a monopoly.
Also even though book sales have soared due to the pandemic they still decided to sell, which shows how bad the book industry is doing.

>>4464 Don't worry, eventually Amazon is going to acquire them and things are going to be even worse.

I'm jelly of first worlders, they can get books for so cheap. Everything here is expensive, even used books in tatters.

Does that mean the Penguin classics catalog will get bigger?

>>4449 They should burn all the Chodehouse books if they are going. Chodehouse is baby crap. I don't read it and I don't need it shoved down my fucking throat cause manbaby will pee pee his pants if you don't read it.

I truly can't stand hearing about Chodehouse. Try talking about something I actually care about. Even just one page. Everyone here backs me up too. They don't want to hear some fat geek recite his favorite Chodehouse gags. Try to read and discuss somethin I fucking care about. Chodehouse peeves me off to no end.
