DC goes with Random House for bookstores

Calvin Reid at Publisher's Weekly (a sister publication to Variety) has the details on the distribution deal, which kicks in in the spring.

For years, DC had used Warner Books for bookstore outlets, but that relationship hit an obvious snag when both company's parent, Time-Warner, sold the outfit last year to French firm Hachette Livre, which reorganized into the Hachette Book Group USA. Random House is the largest distributor in the business.

DC will continue to use Diamond for distribution to comicbook specialty shops.
