Diamond has announced that it has been named exclusive distributor to the bookstore, library, warehouse club, mass merchandise, and specialty markets in the U.S. by Oni Press and AiT/Planet Lar. Both were made book distributor refugees by the collapse of LPC Group, their previous distributor to the book trade. AiT/Planet Lar had only been an LPC client for a few months when bankruptcy was declared (see 'Ait/Planet Lar Signs with LPC'). Both One and AiT/Planet Lar waited some time before announcing a new choice; LPC has not been operating since the end of July (for a recap on the LPC bankruptcy and where graphic novel publishers have gone for book distribution, see 'Bookstore Distribution Scorecard').
