    • Abstract:
      This section offers news briefs related to the book industry as of January 15, 2010. The British Retail Consortium attributes the decline of book sales in December 2009 to heavy discounting, strong competition, and the rise in popularity of electronic books. Author Paulo Coelho has decided to enter an exclusive deal with Amazon to sell 17 of his electronic books in Portuguese. Val McDermid was given the Crime Writers Association (CWA) Cartier Diamond Dagger Award.
