Oil isn't the only thing that's going up. Galleycat cites a report that says the price of paper is rising, leading publishers to put out fewer books. They can't afford to put out everything "and hope something sticks," the thinking goes.
Despite the fact that this might make publishers more reluctant to publish me and my friends, my reaction is: good! Let's have less crap published. Of course, the way it works is, instead of selecting for quality, publishers will now do only sure-fire moneymakers. Still, I can't help but think this is a good trend in the long run. Once a book does get published, it has less competition for space and attention.
