Summary

The little guys are losers in the music, video, and book industries. From wholesalers and distributors to record boutiques and bookstores, a few players usually dominate each market. In Japan two companies (Nippon Shuppan Hanbai and Tohan) control about three-quarters of the book distribution market. The UK has three companies (WH SmithJohn Menzies, and Dawson Holdings) that lead the distribution business. In the US, Ingram IndustriesBaker & Taylor, and Handleman Company rule the land.
