Hello Share Scramblers. Being an author myself, I can attest to the fact that books are not selling as well as they used to. The time was when I could bring out a book on making cash from shares and it would disappear rapidly from the shelves. But that was in the days before a lot of reading matter could be found free on the internet and shares were doing a lot better. Don’t let that put you off buying my latest however - Share Attack.

Malcolm,
Bloomsbury also look to be debt-free, with a sizeable chunk of cash on the balance sheet if I read their accounts right.
Further, on the dividend, the forward yield is 4.2% and its worth adding to this that Bloomsbury fall into “dividend achiever” stock screens with at least 9 years of dividends being held or increasing and with decent cover (dividends should also be more than twice covered on forward projections). In uncertain markets, this is an additional income quality factor.
