London Book Fair, vexatious complaints, the high street in winter
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
Consumer affairs with Julian Worricker. Today You and Yours will be talking to publishers, retailers and authors at the London Book Fair where publishers launch their titles for the coming year and retailers decide which books will appear on their shelves and online. We will hear from industry experts about the changes in the book selling market and how the publishing industry is looking at new ways to make money. We'll also hear how the high streets and out-of-town shopping centres fared over Easter and what impact the cold weather had on the way people shop. And how you can be 'blacklisted' by your local NHS hospital and what you can do about it.
