Hi Elmfield-160p is just very short term target-it's ridiculous we're trading at 11 or so times earnings given the tremendous growth in e-books sales and we can expect further earning enhancing acquisitions as the Company have said they are actively pursuing them.IMHO given these factors, in the next 2/3 years we could go to £5/£6 a share once the institutions arrive in force.Factor in growth in earnings through acquisitions and a sharpely higher rating this is perfactly possible. I think this on one case where you make your own luck by simply holding for the next couple of years.We know the e-book growth story is proven and we also know that the UK significantly lags the USA in this market(5% of sales v 23%)so that exceptional growth will continue for several years.

Have to disagree,
250p this time next year if we don't get global meltdown.

I think it has to since good prospects are excellent.IMHO I think we'll be trading at 160p+ in no time.

It closed at 134p that day , we're now trading at circa 147p but it's worth in excess of 200p.

Random House UK has joined Bloomsbury's Public Library Online, with titles available on the service from today (21st August).

Digital bookshelves from Jacqueline Wilson, Joanna Trollope, Katie Fforde, Lee Child and P G Wodehouse are Random House's first offerings through the scheme, which makes books available to library members online via participating libraries' websites rather than by download.

Random House UK deputy c.e.o. Ian Hudson said: "Libraries play a hugely important role in encouraging people to engage with books and reading and we are delighted to have joined the Public Library Online which provides a means of trialling digital reading amongst their members."

Public Library Online launched in June 2009 and now includes digital bookshelves from publishers including Canongate, Faber, Macmillan, Oneworld, Quercus and Alma, as well as Bloomsbury's own publishing.
