John P. Dessauer 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1994,10(3):4-8
The author argues for a new attitude and praxis in consumer publishing that entails ongoing reader research. This change would
reduce failure rates, increase profits, and better serve publishers’ cultural and economic objectives. Such studies would
encompass both basic research and research on specific titles.

The Colophon, published from 1925 through 1935 for an audience of book collectors and connoisseurs, illuminates the debate
over the basis of a book's value: genuine quality or artificial scarcity. It also illustrates the distinction between genuine
news about the book industry and “publicity hypnosis”—today’s “hype.” The magazine’s authors, designers, typographers, printers,
and illustrators were among the finest of their day.
Claire Badaracco is an assistant professor at Marquette University, and is currently writing a series of articles about Anglo-American
book publishing, journalism, and publicity trades between 1920 and 1940 with the support of The British Academy, the National
Endowment, and the Bibliographical Society of America. Her work has been published inAmerican Literary Realism, Journalism Quarterly, Essays in Business and Economic History, and other journals. The Library of Congress, The Center for The Book, is publishing her monograph “The Lakeside Press Four

True European integration cannot occur without developing a common cultural base that preserves diversity. An analysis of
the present European publishing market and the involvement to date of the European Community in publishing sheds light on
the likely impact of European unity on the industry. The book is the main force of European culture, and European publishing
is healthy. To protect and enhance this vitality, the European Community must promote coordination with regard to author/publisher
relations, adaptation of book distribution channels, book pricing, taxation, libraries, promotion of reading, foreign trade,
control of illicit reprography, and development of information and research relevant to publishing and the book.

Kenneth C. Davis 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1995,11(4):9-32
Arguing that the First Amendment does not allow for the suppression of ideas, constitutional scholars and historians have
long been concerned about legal attempts to censor books in the United States. In this article Kenneth C. Davis explores the
complex relationship between pivotal court cases on censorship, congressional committees, various movements, and secular and
religious organizations in attempts to curtail the publication and distribution of certain types of books in this nation.
Davis's trenchant analyses enrich our understanding of censorship and the history of the book in the United States.
Most of the publishers engaged in this sordid competition operate in the field of cheap reprints selling [for] from 10 to
75 cents. —Reports of the Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials (1952)It is not so much the publisher's right to publish that needs protection as the reader's right to read. —Douglas M. Black, President, American Book Publishers Council (1952)

Publishers of books for the library and scholarly markets use prepublication reviews to reduce the risk of publishing a book
that does not meet scholarly standards or is not economically justifiable. Book purchasers use postpublication reviews to
reduce the risk of spending their budgets unwisely. Despite problems associated with both sorts of review, they are integral
to the processes of scholarly communication and academic career advancement. The role and policies ofChoice, a book review journal directed toward scholars and librarians of undergraduate-level collections, are discussed in detail. 相似文献

Itinerant booksellers play very significant but less noticeable role in the book trade in Ghana and many developing economies. They are the mobile booksellers who carry their collections to the doorsteps of their consumers. This paper highlights the contributions of itinerant booksellers to book distribution in Ghana. The paper makes a case for and against itinerant bookselling in Ghana. First, the paper raises issues with the quality and content of some of the reading materials peddled by the itinerant booksellers and discusses their implications for copyright and book development. The paper then argues that in spite of their shortcomings, itinerant booksellers have the potential to assist in finding a lasting solution to the book distribution problems of the country, and, need to be encouraged and assisted by book industry players such as the Ghana Development Council, Ghana Book Publishers Association, and the Ghana Booksellers Association to contribute meaningfully to Ghana??s book business. 相似文献

Between 1984 and 1989, the U.S. book industry drowned in a recorded $7.88 billion of returns: 23.87 percent of all books published
during those years were returned to publishers by wholesalers and booksellers for full credit. This massive return of books
undermined the stability of the book industry, causing many publishers to question the efficacy of a system that failed to
operate successfully during a period of exceptionally stable business conditions, free from high rates of interest and inflation,
recession, or a war. In this study the author addresses the book return phenomenon by: (1) analyzing statistics about the
U.S. book industry and its twelve key market segments; (2) evaluating possible causes of the increase in returns; and (3)
proposing some suggestions to reduce returns.
Albert N. Greco also serves on the board of directors of the Book Industry Study Group, publisher ofBook Industry Trends, 1991. 相似文献

Business opportunities in international markets are largely determined by accessibility, transparency, and legal frameworks
fair to all parties concerned. Arab book markets in principle offer a tremendous potential with more than 300 million readers
sharing one common language. Besides unsolved censorship issues, problems with money collection, and differing regulations,
however, the lack of a uniform book distribution system is the most critical hurdle for the development of a common Arabic
book market. Most importantly, there is no comprehensive database containing accurate content briefs, background information
on authors, ISBN numbers, and publisher company information as well as all relevant commercial data such as book prices, weight,
logistics terms, and availability. Authors and publishers are hard hit as they often need to organize book transportation,
delivery, and invoice collection on their own. At present, “selling book fairs” in the Arab world—with the exception of Abu
Dhabi International Book Fair—present themselves as crowded book bazaars rather than executive meeting points. The authors
of the article, however, are anticipating change: New distribution initiatives will soon interlink regional Arabic markets
and create unique growth and profit opportunities. 相似文献

In this paper we provide the reader with a visual representation of relationships among the impact of book chapters indexed in the Book Citation Index using information gain values and published by different academic publishers in specific disciplines. The impact of book chapters can be characterized statistically by citations histograms. For instance, we can compute the probability of occurrence of book chapters with a number of citations in different intervals for each academic publisher. We predict the similarity between two citation histograms based on the amount of relative information between such characterizations. We observe that the citation patterns of book chapters follow a Lotkaian distribution. This paper describes the structure of the Book Citation Index using ‘heliocentric clockwise maps’ which allow the reader not only to determine the grade of similarity of a given academic publisher indexed in the Book Citation Index with a specific discipline according to their citation distribution, but also to easily observe the general structure of a discipline, identifying the publishers with higher impact and output. 相似文献

The role of the literary agent and the reception granted agents by publishers have changed markedly over the course of the
twentieth century. Henry Holt’s views of agents, written in the first decade of the century, help define the status and activities
of agents at that time. These are compared with the role of agents today, using archival sources, the book trade literature,
and interviews.
