Coral’s read

Three separate items in one roundup today, and each is worth a beat of your attention. A Political Book of the Year winner was named, the Affirm Press team behind Pip Williams's marketing has launched a new imprint in Manuka Books, and more than 40 New Zealand booksellers have put their names to an agreement on delivery terms. None of this is dramatic on its own, but a new imprint launching and a bookseller coalition both landing in the same week is worth filing away.
