NZ booksellers sign delivery agreement as Manuka Books launches
More than 40 booksellers joined Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand in signing the agreement on delivery terms

Books+Publishing reported that the Affirm Press team behind Pip Williams's marketing campaigns has launched a new imprint, Manuka Books.
The outlet also reported that Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand and more than 40 booksellers have signed an agreement related to delivery terms. Further detail on the agreement's content was not included in the material available.
Books+Publishing additionally reported a Political Book of the Year winner, without further detail provided in the material available.
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.
