Zola Books Snaps Up Bookish To Power Up Its Literary Recommendations

booksHeads-up bibliophiles: social e-book retailer Zola Books has acquired curated book recommendation site Bookish. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a spokesperson for Zola Books confirmed that there were multiple bidders in the mix and that Zola was the smallest of the bunch. In case you hadn't heard of it, Bookish is a book discovery site founded by Simon & Schuster, Hachette, and Penguin Random House (then known as Penguin Group) to help users (what else?) find new books to lose themselves in. While Bookish itself sells books directly to consumers, Zola seems much more interested in its ability to recommend new books to readers based off of titles they've enjoyed in the past.
