London Book Fair's Evolution Reflects Publishing's New Ecology

He went on to talk about how he feels "a new ecology" has emerged for the industry now. "The previous ecology got hammered and challenged. A new one has emerged that is partly around the resilience and return of physical books, partly around the new confidence there is. There is a new confidence about the options open to publishers, about the creation of value, about investing in content with confidence. There is a shift towards the consumer, which is still continuing and isn't finished yet, and just a new confidence about the tools and opportunities open to us."
