如果你要去最近的水石书店（Waterstones）寻找苏塞克斯公爵夫人（DuchessofSussex）的新儿童读物《长椅》（TheBench），你可能得准备好四处寻找；比尔·克林顿（BillClinton）和詹姆斯·帕特森（JamesPatterson）的新惊悚小说《总统的女儿》（ThePresident’sDaughter）可能也是如此。这两本书将于下周由企鹅兰登书屋出版，该公司目前正与水石出版社陷入僵局。

问题始于去年年底，当时企鹅兰登书屋（PenguinRandomHouse）证实，它已向水石书店引入了“非常高水平”的信用额度。行业杂志《书商》（TheBookseller）报道称，水石书店各分店经理被告知将公共房屋书籍从桌子、展示空间和窗户等显眼位置移除，并“悄悄地将它们撤到相关区域”。
