Having scaled the walls of Faber’s well-manicured garden eleven years ago,
Faber chief executive Stephen Page found himself in the
broadcast hot-seat, sandwiched between Naked Bookers Philip Jones and Sam
Missingham.
This show is the first in an occasional series of tête à têtes, devoted to
the illuminati of the book business.
Page, who joined Faber via feisty indie Fourth Estate and HarperCollins,
admitted that even back then, he never expected “an environment such as we have
now”. E-books on the march, “Cats” a distant memory, and Faber a publisher of
poetry — as an app.
Page talks about the 20p e-book, library e-book lending, why he loathes the
term enhanced e-book, and how to put the ‘P’ into publishing.
Page also revealed what keeps him awake at night – and no, it isn’t The Naked
Book. Not yet anyway.
