Indigo Agrees to Be Taken Private By Trilogy At $2.50 Per Share - CISION*

Look at how the shareholders thingy vote works.
Panzer found an interesting press release at CISION about Canada's Indigo Books and Music Inc.
 According to the press release the company is going private which means stock shares will no longer be traded on the market. A shareholders vote on the issue will be held in May and the takeover will happen in June.

Note: It's a much longer post than this. Bring a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie (biscuit) to snack on.

A Monday Panzerism

Panzer on imparting information:
Here's a riddle:Do you know why cats don't talk?

Answer:Because you wouldn't like what we'd say. You'd expect us to say things like: Expect something different, did you?*
"Dinner please" and "Thank you for dinner."
Come on.   Cats don't think like that. No. It's "Give it to me now. It's MINE!"

Small Press Distrubution Shuts Down - Publishers Weekly

It's not easy to run a small company.
Panzer found some unfortunate news at the Publishers Weekly site today. The Small Press Distribution shut down last week.  According to Jim Milliot's post the SPD shut down immediately on March 28. The post includes quotes from Kent Watson, executive director, about the closure. As the name implies the company distributes materials for small press, but this has proved to be nearly impossible in today's book climate.

Panzer says, "An immediate closure will cause a lot of problems for small presses."
