Comics and Books

Virgin Books and Gotham Entertainment's Virgin Comics will close its New York offices and reorganize its operations due to "the current macro-economic turndown." CEO Sharad Devarajan and president Suresh Seetharaman hope to restructure and consolidate operations in Los Angeles.

Japanese publishers Shogakukan and Shueisha will join forces to directly publish manga in Europe starting in the fall of 2009. The two companies plan to publish in France first, and then expand to Great Britain, Spain, and the other European countries.

Amazon has acquired Shelfari.
