Backlash Hits Raincoast

Raincoast Books, who decided yesterday that they would abandon publishing and just be a wholesaler/distributor started to feel the public backlash today. From Bookninja

"The greedy bastards at Raincoast are in damage control mode and the spin is flying pretty thick. I’m sure there are a few long suffering small big presses that are looking at this with mixed feelings of: how dare you, you cheating pricks, and: you lucky dirty shits, take me with you."

In the more main stream press Raincoast seemed to blame everything from the Canadian Dollar to consumers. Check out the links at Bookninja for more.
