Saturn Booksellers is For Sale

1/4/2022

3 Comments

 
For the past two and a half decades, Saturn Booksellers has been a labor of love and a way to live my passion every day, but I’ve decided to retire in 2022.  So now the search is on for the person or persons to take over the reins and build on our 29 year history as Gaylord’s hometown bookstore with a national reputation.

Nothing like going out on top!  Not only did we weather the pandemic, 2021 was the most profitable year the store has ever had. 

If you’ve ever considered owning a bookstore, you no-doubt know that purchasing an existing store with everything in place is both a much faster and far less expensive way to join the bookselling world.
The quick facts:

-Established in 1993 in Gaylord, MI
-Is the only general, independent bookstore in a six-county radius.   N. MI is a tourist mecca, so the store is both a year-round business serving locals and a destination for tourists, many of whom become year-round customers online.
-Maintains a website serving customers across the continental U.S. and Hawai’i
-Stocks about 90% new books, 10% toys, games and gift items.
-Has hosted hundreds of major authors on their national tours, and enjoys a reputation among the publishing world for creative and fun events.
-Is the recipient of many awards, including 
       MI Retailer of the Year,   
       Valpak & American Express Shop Small National Grand Prize Winner,
       the local Chamber’s Golden Pineapple for Best Customer Service,
       and Best Customer Service, Best Store Staff, Best Bookstore, Best Place to Work, Best Workplace Culture, Best Boss, Best Overall Company to Work For, and Best Hangout several times over in regional Reader Awards
-Is in an existing lease through the end April of 2022 on a 2755 sq. ft. space, with 3 one-year extensions perfect for a new owner to establish themselves before having to decide if they want to remain in the same space, move the shop, purchase a building, etc.  More sq. footage is currently available adjacent to our space.
-Has a knowledgeable and fun staff of booksellers, many of whom would be pleased to discuss staying in place with a new owner.
 
Owner is local and available to help with the transition.
Financials with NDA available upon request.
Discussions and offers will be entertained until March 1, 2022.
 
About Jill Miner:
I purchased the store from its founders in 1998 and moved it from a strip mall into a building I purchased in the heart of downtown Gaylord.  In 2015 I sold that building and moved ‘38 steps’ to the east into the space we now occupy. 

During my time as owner, I’ve been privileged to be associated with GLiBA in many capacities, from Education Director to President, Past President, Vice President, Secretary, holiday catalog salesperson and more. I’ve also served on committees for the ABA in different capacities over the years. I have probably met many of you at trade shows and author dinners and the like. I’d be honored to talk to you if you are considering a bookstore purchase in the immediate future, or might want to add our store as another location for your existing shop.

2022 In-Person Winter Institute Cancelled

12/29/2021

0 Comments

 
We are heartbroken to announce that our in-person Winter Institute event in Cincinnati is canceled.

We have been full steam ahead with programming, planning, and safety precautions, but the rising number of COVID cases, the contagion of the new variant, and the hospital crisis in Ohio — including the National Guard being called in to assist understaffed hospitals — have forced us to a full stop. Your safety and our staff’s safety is paramount and the risk is now too great to host this event.

We will refund everyone in January, and we will take care of canceling all hotel reservations at ABA hotels (Hyatt Regency Cincinnati, Hilton, and Westin). 

We deeply appreciate your flexibility, understanding, and patience while we determine what our next steps will be and what that means for you, our valued members and partners. We are still very excited to share our incredible programming and we will be announcing our new plan in the coming weeks.

Justice Department Sues to Block Penguin Random House Acquisition of S&S - PW

11/3/2021

0 Comments

 
The U.S. Department of Justice has sued to block Penguin Random House parent company Bertelsmann’s proposed acquisition of Viacom CBS subsidiary Simon & Schuster, arguing that it “would result in substantial harm to authors.” The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on November 2. With it, the DoJ alleges that the proposed acquisition would “enable Penguin Random House, which is already the largest book publisher in the world, to exert outsized influence over which books are published in the United States and how much authors are paid for their work.” (Penguin Random House is the world's third largest publisher, but its largest trade publisher.) The full lawsuit can be read here.
Notably, the DoJ focused its opposition to the deal around its impact on authors (and particularly on potential bestselling authors). “If consummated, this merger would likely result in substantial harm to authors of anticipated top-selling books and ultimately, consumers,” the DoJ complaint states. “Post-merger, the two largest publishers would collectively control more than two-thirds of this market, leaving hundreds of authors with fewer alternatives and less leverage.”​

In a statement, U.S. attorney general Merrick Garland said that “books have shaped American public life throughout our nation’s history, and authors are the lifeblood of book publishing in America. But just five publishers control the U.S. publishing industry.” He continued: “If the world’s largest book publisher is permitted to acquire one of its biggest rivals, it will have unprecedented control over this important industry.” Acting assistant attorney general Richard A. Powers, of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, added that the lawsuit “will prevent further consolidation in an industry that has a history of collusion.”
While PRH global CEO Markus Dohle has pledged to allow PRH and S&S editors bid against one another post-acquisition, the DoJ specifically rejected that overture. “In short, after securing nearly half the market for publishing rights to anticipated top-selling books, Penguin Random House asks this court to trust that Penguin Random House will not use its market power to maximize profits for the benefit of its shareholders but rather, it will essentially compete with itself to reduce those profits,” the complaint states. “This proposal defies economic sense, can be evaded or violated without detection, and is unenforceable.”
The DoJ also took issue with PRH's previous statements that “the merger with Simon & Schuster will provide a counterweight to Amazon’s alleged buying power,” arguing that the publisher's “internal documents tell a different story: Penguin Random House plans to embrace Amazon even more closely after the merger. For example, in seeking approval from Bertelsmann’s Supervisory Board to pursue Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House executives stated that the acquisition would advance their ‘[g]oal’ to be an ‘[e]xceptional partner for Amazon.’”
The reaction from both PRH and S&S has been swift. In a release announcing their intentions to fight the lawsuit, the two publishers called the proposed deal a “pro-consumer, pro-author, and pro-book seller transaction.” Furthermore, sources close to PRH said that the government cherry-picked the numbers used to oppose the deal, questioning how the government could define what an “anticipated top-selling book” even is.
In a memo to PRH employees, Dohle wrote that PRH believes “the DoJ is mistaken” in its assessment, adding that the publisher is “committed to vigorously defending this acquisition.” The memo argued that the proposed deal would "benefit all constituents, including authors, agents, retailers, and, ultimately, readers, and will do nothing to undermine the robust, competitive publishing landscape that currently exists." In a memo of his own, S&S president and CEO Jonathan Karp echoed Dohle's sentiments, noting that the DoJ “has not alleged that the acquisition would harm competition in the sale of books.”
Daniel Petrocelli, vice-chair of O’Melveny & Meyers and PRH’s lead trial attorney, said that the “DoJ’s lawsuit is wrong on the facts, the law, and public policy." The publishing industry "is strong and vibrant and has seen strong growth at all levels,” Petrocelli said. “We are confident that the robust and competitive landscape that exists will ensure a decision that the acquisition will promote, not harm, competition.” PRH anticipates that the case could go to trial sometime in 2022.
When the deal was first announced in late 2020, antitrust scholar Chris Sagers, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law professor and author of the 2019 book United States v. Apple: Competition in America told PW that there was “maybe a 50/50 chance" the deal would be challenged or conditioned by regulators. “As a practical matter, regulatory agencies during the past few decades have rarely brought serious challenges to deals less concentrating than four to three,” Sagers said. “That is, so long as a deal leaves at least four major firms in a market, the agencies are unlikely to sue.”
But size does matter, Sagers added. And even though the PRH/S&S deal would have left four major publishers at the top of the publishing business, Sagers warned then that the metrics used to calculate market concentration, known as the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) could weigh against approval, with the combination of PRH and S&S essentially creating one firm significantly larger than its next closest rival—a situation NewsCorp CEO Robert Thomson, whose company was said to be the underbidder for S&S, called out when PRH’s massive winning bid was announced.
“There is clearly no market logic to a bid of that size—only anti-market logic,” Thomson said of PRH's winning bid, in a statement from November 25, 2020. “Bertelsmann is not just buying a book publisher, but buying market dominance as a book behemoth.”
In response to the news, Mary Rasenberger, the CEO of the Authors Guild, which has been critical of the proposed acquisition, called the decision "unexpected, given that so many other major mergers and acquisitions in the publishing industry have gone through recently and over the last few decades with nary a raised eyebrow from DOJ, leaving us with only a handful of companies dominating the industry."
The statement continued: "More importantly, the decision raises the bigger question that goes beyond traditional publishers to the consolidation of distribution channels and Amazon’s monopsony of book retail. We look forward to working with the Biden Administration on antitrust reform that gets to the root of the problems in the industry, whereas the proposed merger was just a symptom.”
When the acquisition was first proposed last year, the deal generated backlash from many in the book business. Concerns included that the combined company would be too large for even the remainder of the Big Five publishers (which would have then become the Big Four), let alone other publishers in the business, to compete when bidding for books. The lawsuit is seen by some both inside and outside of publishing as a sign of the Biden Administration's intent to act more vigorously in antitrust matters.
Penguin Random House, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann, publishes 2,000 new trade books in the U.S. annually and reported revenues of $2.5 billion from U.S. publishing in 2020. Simon & Schuster, a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, publishes 1,000 new trade books in the U.S. annually, and reported revenues of $901 million from U.S. publishing in 2020. (link to article)
