AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

AI & Books: Tech giants are reportedly buying rare print books, scanning them, then shredding them to train chatbots and avoid “AI slop,” reigniting fears for libraries and collectors. Publishing Policy: The Trump administration is scrutinizing the American Medical Association’s control of CPT medical billing codes, with CMS asking whether the AMA’s “monopoly” distorts physician payment policy. Book Culture & Community: Newcastle’s romance-only shop The Sinful Spine drew huge queues—people traveled for miles and waited up to two hours—showing genre bookstores can still turn into local events. Literary Awards: Stephen Colbert is set to receive an anti-censorship American Book Award, alongside Books & Books founder Mitchell Kaplan. Kids’ Reading & History: A new picture book spotlights Kentucky’s Packhorse Librarians, while another bookstore owner argues the “age of reading” is far from over. Classics Buzz: The Odyssey debate keeps driving print demand and fresh criticism around translations and film adaptations.
