One month of TORSTAR numbers in this Quarter's resultsShould see the TORSTAR deal start to show up in Transcontinental numbers this Thursday. While it will only be a month worth of revenue, it will give a better impression on its impact.
Couple other factors.
1. Indigo announced last month growth in print sales which is a plus for its book printing unit
2. packaging growth numbers from the US should continue to expand
3. Poll last month showed over 70% of people preferred reading print over ebooks.
4. continued cutbacks dumping the losers so it can continue to reposition.
It is my opinion print books "death" is the wrong theme. It should be where is the bottom for print books? The impression is we may be playing with a bottom right now.
All my opinion.
