AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Supreme Court & Publishing: New financial disclosures show several justices earned more than $2 million combined from book advances and royalties in 2025, with Ketanji Brown Jackson reporting a $1.18 million Penguin Random House advance and Sonia Sotomayor listing children’s-book royalties plus free concert tickets tied to Bad Bunny’s label. Children’s Books Under Fire: A UK report launched in the House of Lords argues children’s publishing has been “hollowed out” by ideology, warning that trans-themed narratives are crowding out diversity of thought and harming kids. Censorship Clash: Idaho’s House Bill 666 would criminalize librarians when minors access “harmful” materials, with critics saying the vague standard invites censorship of LGBTQ-inclusive titles. Rights, Libraries & Free Speech: Italy’s Paper First says it will skip a Rome book fair after organizers required exhibitors to sign an anti-fascist “political purity” declaration. Book Market Moments: Christie’s London will auction a rare first edition of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights in a three-volume set, with estimates reaching into the low seven figures. Indie/Global Publishing: Pushkin Press acquired Stefan Zweig’s full literary estate, while Sharjah hosted UNESCO World Book Capital delegates to share strategies for strengthening reading culture.
