Page believes that the publishing world has changed. Where the old world was all about control of distribution and access to mass market accounts, intimacy and taste are the heart of publishing and the true differentiators -- and the reason so many large publishers have "hoovered up" small publishers.

"Big companies have so many imprints because they want to emulate being small," says Page.
