Courier’s Strong Quarter for Book Manufacturing Boosts Its Results

Positive developments, both in the quarter and for the year, included double-digit increases in sales to online retailers and excellent sales growth at mass merchandising chains, an emerging channel Courier cultivated to reach a broader audience and complement sales at traditional bookstores. At the same time, the company expanded its investment in digitized content, including the conversion of printed content into electronic form to take advantage of the growing market for e-books, maximize its flexibility to reintroduce or repurpose out-of-print titles, and make the quality of its content more visible to online shoppers and search engines.
