In this exclusive video, Miller explains how HarperStudio hopes to cut a similar deal with more bookstores and readers can see some of HarperStudio's first titles. The Wall Street Journal <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122939936289409805.html">has the story</a>: "Under the terms of the deal, the nation's second-largest bookstore chain by revenue will get a deeper discount on initial orders of books published by the new imprint of News Corp.'s HarperCollins Publishers -- 58% to 63% off the cover price, instead of the usual 48%. In exchange, Borders won't return any unsold books to HarperStudio, instead probably discounting them in the store."<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/" >Mediabistro</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/bob miller">bob miller</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/books">books</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/borders">borders</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/galleycat">galleycat</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/harperstudio">harperstudio</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/mediabistro">mediabistro</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/new york">new york</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/tags/publishing">publishing</a></p> Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:07:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/videos/185/ bob miller books borders galleycat harperstudio mediabistro new york publishing Mediabistro HarperStudio Publisher Bob Miller on Book Returns http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/videos/176/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/Mediabistro/videos/176/" title="Foundry Agent on Publishing Meltdown" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_afb30637.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Foundry Agent on Publishing Meltdown" border="0" /></a></p> As a number of major publishing houses made dramatic lay-offs last week, literary agents around the city pondered what the disaster meant for their clients. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Peter-H-McGuigan-profile.html"> Peter H.
