Hosts Michael Tamblyn and Nathan Maharaj caught up on a landmark legal decision about books and AI, the perils of bookstore merch, plus a whole lot more.

This episode covers:

• Anthropic AI v. Authors
  • and Authors v. Apple
• How Powell's Books' new mugs got them into hot water
• Barnes & Noble buying Books Inc.
• C-suite changes at Simons & Schuster and Harper UK
• A novel approach to creative writing this November

Somehow, neither of them mentioned a specific book this time. They've been spoken to and have promised to do better in the future.
