AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

UK Book Trade: Faber will stop supplying Sally Rooney’s books in Britain over legal concerns linked to her support for Palestine Action. Shops can still sell copies already in stock, but cannot replenish them; the decision has sparked debate across the bookselling trade. Global Book Fair: Sharjah’s 45th international fair runs Nov. 4–15, bringing 2,673 publishers and exhibitors from 124 countries and a programme of 1,500 events. Anti-Piracy: Tanzania has given public institutions two weeks to agree on action against book piracy, warning that it threatens writers, publishers and the wider industry. Audiobooks: Spotify is bringing 350,000 audiobooks to Nigeria, a major push to grow digital reading in the market.
