Raincoast Books Quits Publishing

Raincoast books today annouced it was getting out of the business of publishing to focus exclusively on distribution and wholesaling.
The 15 books set for release this spring will be the final slate from Raincoast, which largely counted West Coast and children's book authors in its publishing stable.
"It basically means that I've been cut adrift," children's book author and illustrator Cynthia Nugent told CBC News.
Nugent, whose credits include illustrating the popular book Mister Got to Go and penning the pre-teen novel Francesca and the Magic Bike, said she has published the majority of her oeuvre with Raincoast.
