| Sumario: | The article presents information on the British book trade industry. There has been a notable rise in the independent and small publishers, even as many stock-holding bookshops struggle for survival on the high streets. This year at least 10 new imprints are starting up, with lists ranging across literary fiction, gift books, crime, travel writing, business, self-help and reference. Amazon.co.uk's Advantage programme enables small publishers to display their entire catalogue to the world, search engine Google is also promising opportunities to reach more readers online.
