Oz book distributors merge
Four of Australia's independent book distributors -- Bookwise, Gary Allen, Tower Books and Brumby Books & Music -- have reached an agreement to merge their operations.
Each business will retain its own name, identity, publisher lists and sales and marketing team. Key personnel at all four companies will remain in their current roles. The integrated entity will maintain offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Recent events have shown that in today's business environment, size matters, the companies said in a press statement.
