| Subtext is a twice-monthly newsletter published by Open Book Publishing, Inc. offering exclusive research on the book-publishing business. Founded in 1995 by book industry analysts Stephanie Oda and Glenn Sanislo, Subtext is considered the definitive source of business research on book publishing. No other publication compares when it comes current, comprehensive, hard-hitting reporting and research on all aspects of the book publishing market, ranging from consumer to education to professional. |
| Subtext is the only twice-monthly publication available, and the only newsletter covering the entire spectrum of book publishing. (Another newsletter, a weekly which once claimed to be Subtext’s competitor, recently changed its frequency to monthly, and continues to charge nearly $700 for a yearly subscription!). A subscription to Subtext comprises 24 issues packed with unique research and insights. Each issue offers 8 to 10 pages of the comprehensive, timely research and analysis that book business executives of all levels have relied on to pull ahead of the pack in the arena of publishing and selling books. So highly regarded are Subtext’s statistics and research that they are frequently quoted as the source of record for such mainstream publications as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Crain’s and The New Yorker. |
| Subtext is renowned for its insight and accuracy on the issues and driving forces in the book publishing business. The editors conduct their own surveys, compile numbers, and present them in a meaningful context, as well as analyze emerging markets both at home and abroad. Subtext breaks the news and breaks down the news to its essence. For an example of this, click on the sample issue link below and read the July 17, 2007 issue, which ranks educational publishers and provides an in-depth analysis of the July 2007 acquisition by HM Riverdeep of Harcourt Publishing. see sample Subtext
