![]() Since Macmillan began offering its full catalog of ebooks to libraries in 2014, the publisher has seen “exponential growth” in library channel sales, Fritz Foy, president and publisher of Tor and Forge Books, told LJ last week. For libraries, the embargo recalled a time less than a decade ago when many major publishers refused to license ebooks to libraries altogether. The publisher said the test would help it determine whether library lending is having a negative impact on retail ebook sales. In a move that has raised concern throughout the library field, Macmillan in July announced that it would be testing a four month embargo on selling new ebooks published by its Tor imprint to libraries.
