“That readers and publishers both need bookhops in general and independent bookstores in particular is beyond doubt. But they will have to be nourished by publishers, readers, and writers.”

Why India’s bookshops can thrive despite online giants only if publishers support them

There’s no difference of opinion between publishers and booksellers on this. But the gap remains.
