This book discusses a wide variety of issues that are suitable for anyone interested in the business of books. The author covers many topics including, the Publishing industry, marketing and promotion, book selling, independent book stores and plenty of other bookish related topics which I found quite interesting. Cook has many years of experience in this industry and has a lot of personal opinions to offer. It's too bad that I often found his approach to these topics to be judgmental, self righteous and always on the verge of being a political rant. I would have much preferred a more neutral presentation but I can't fault him for saying what he thinks. So 4 stars for content & 2 stars for presentation. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
ONE OF LIT HUB'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2023 * ESQUIRE's August 2023 Book Club Pick "If books are important to you because you're a reader or a writer, then how books are sold should be important to you as well. If it matters to you that your vegetables are organic, your clothes made without child labor, your beer brewed without a culture of misogyny, then it should matter how books are made and sold to you." With Amazon's growing power in both bookselling and publishing, considering where and how we get our books is more important now than ever. The simple act of putting a book in a reader's hands--what booksellers call handselling--becomes a catalyst for an exploration of the moral, financial, and political pressures all indie bookstores face. From the relationship between bookselling and white supremacy, to censorship and the spread of misinformation, to the consolidation of the publishing industry, veteran bookseller and writer Josh Cook turns a generous yet critical eye to an industry at the heart of American culture, sharing tips and techniques for becoming a better reader and, of course, recommending great books along the way.
