Nelson goes shopping

There's further consolidation in the Christian publishing market -- Thomas Nelson will acquire Integrity Publishers, a company started by former Nelson president Byron Williamson. Earlier this year, Nelson itself was acquired by a private equity group.

This is an example of the free market relaying interesting information. While many in the mainstream media and the publishing industry fail to realize it, America is a religious and conservative country. As I wrote back in July, some publishing conglomerates are just now starting to wake up to this fact.
