You might be interested in the lengthy interview with Crispin Davis CEO
of Reed Elsevier in which he states "how he turned the outfit around,
why he seldom checks the stock price, and how his secretary keeps her job"
http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jun2002/tc20020626_6092.htm
and also the piece in the UK Bookseller for 7 June 2002 on Taylor and
Francis on the career of Anthony Selvey and the profits he made including
the statement "Companies such as Taylor and Francis earn most of their
revenues from institutional Libraries (that) look like safe havens"
I don't think this article is on line.
