It's all happening the other side of the pond:
35 redundancies at Simon & Schuster
S&S Cuts 35 Jobs* - 12/3/2008 10:57:00 AM - Publishers Weekly
Random House reorganise:
Massive Reorganization at Random House: Steve Rubin, Irwyn Applebaum Step Down; Doubleday and Bantam Divisions Dismantled | The New York Observer
And Houghton Mifflin goes into meltdown with an astonishing amount of debt. Other reports say 'a lot' of people have been sacked.

Makes you wonder what is about to happen in the UK? Hopefully this won't affect new books, though H-M have apparently stopped taking on new acquisitions.
Any thoughts, John?
