Big Bestseller: Sarah J. Maas’s latest A Court of Thorns and Roses book sold 1.7 million copies on release day, setting a new record for the author. Copyright Battles: Publishers urged a U.S. court to reject OpenAI’s fair-use defense, while a separate report alleges Anthropic trained Claude on pirated books. Sales and Solidarity: Sally Rooney has halted UK book sales over legal concerns tied to her support for Palestine Action; children’s laureates say they’ll donate royalties to her. AI Quality Control: China’s Agricultural Publishing House is recalling marine-life books after AI-generated illustrations included a two-headed shrimp. Industry Watch: Waterstones unveiled its 2026 Book of the Year shortlist, as Catapult Books’ closure underscored pressures on independent publishing. A Russian strike on a Ukrainian publisher’s warehouse also disrupted planned November releases.
