Bloomsbury Adds “Look Inside” Reader

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, an independent, London-based publishing house known for literary novels, children’s and reference book publishing, has collaborated with LibreDigital, a division of NewsStand Inc., on the new Bloomsbury ‘Look Inside’ online service.

The service reportedly allows readers to search and preview the company’s book content on the Internet in a format that replicates the look of a printed book.

Bloomsbury is currently digitizing a number of its books for the service, which will be utilized on a number of Bloomsbury divisions’ Web sites, including Bloomsbury USA, Walker & Company, A&C Black and Berlin Verlag.

The new service will be available to booksellers in several months.
