Lock-Fill Sep. 27, 2025

Readerlink’s deal to acquire “the business and substantially all the assets” of Baker & Taylor — due to close by Friday, September 26 — has been terminated instead. Readerlink indicated there is no formal statement about the termination. Baker & Taylor’s open invoices with publishers were to remain with the current owners, and publishers were expressing concern about getting paid. Earlier this year, several librarians reported shipping delays from B&T and books being backordered at the wholesaler, which the company attributed to post-pandemic supply chain issues.

Deal of the Day
Author of the Off Campus series Elle Kennedy's LOVE SONG, a standalone, and two new titles set in the Briar University world, to Christa Desir at Bloom Books, in a major deal, for seven figures, in a three-book deal, for publication in March 2026, by Kimberly Brower at Park, Fine & Brower Literary Management.
