Each Monday, here on Editor's Corner, I run through the latest issue of the Bookseller magazine and pick out the bits and pieces of book industry news that catch my eye.

This quick round-up of book stuff is culled from the pages of last Friday's 10th July issue:

• Tesco "is to push further into children's and cookery books in a bid to increase weekly sales from £1.5m to £2m"
• Virgin Books "will not publish any new titles in its Black Lace and Nexus erotica lists next year, although the publisher has said that the imprints will remain 'active'"
• Penguin UK "is to cut its workforce by 10% in response to what group chief executive John Markinson described as 'tremendous opportunities' arising out of digital, and the 'unprecedented pressure on costs'"
• and Penguin UK's "outgoing managing director Helen Fraser has hailded the 'brilliant' decision to promote Tom Weldon as her successor and its next chief executive"
• independent publisher "Vision Paperbacks has failed to pay its authors for more than a year, and has been incommunicado since December"
• the Booksellers Association "has said its 2010 conference will take place on 17th and 18th May at the Hotel Russell in Bloomsbury, London"
• stock of Michael Jackson books "has been limited, and promises that new titles would be available from as early as this week have failed to materialise"
• Foyles chairman "Christopher Foyle has said the business will remain under family control, after a restructuring led to two redundancies"
• the "three men who attacked the home of Gibson Square publisher Martin Rynja shortly before he was due to publish The Jewel of Medina, have been jailed"
• legislation "that will require all authors who visit schools to be registered on a national database has been branded as 'Labour's Section 28' by bestselling author Philip Pullman"
