The Shocking Fall of a 197-Year-Old Giant: What Really Happened to Baker & Taylor, the Library’s Lifeline?
Baker & Taylor, which was founded in 1828 as a subscription book publisher and bindery, is (I mean was) the largest book supplier for libraries. They also had a print on demand and retail book distribution division. They are ceasing all operations by the end of this year. This is a HUGE development in the industry. The companies that used Baker & Taylor for their print on demand books are in a big pickle right now, to say nothing of the libraries that are scrambling for another supplier.
