  • Book Expo 2018 Javits Center Wednesday, May 30 9:15 Am
    Book Expo 2018 Javits Center Wednesday, May 30 9:15 am Thanks Oren, for your kind introduction. I am pleased and honored to be here to talk about Barnes & Noble, and more importantly, how I see the future of the book industry as we turn yet another corner in our dynamic marketplace. I am also here to talk about our mutual love of books, and our shared passion for bookselling. Let me begin with a couple of thoughts I believe all in this room should agree upon. There could never be too many bookstores in America. Bookstores of any stripe, including small and large independent stores; super bookstores and multi-unit organizations such as ours; specialty bookstores; book departments in chain stores; book racks in discount stores and book kiosks in airports. It follows we need to open more stores than we close. Barnes & Noble intends to do its part. Individually and collectively, our bookstores are the place where demand is created because we are the showrooms for the publishing industry. More bookstores equal more demand, and 1 more bookstores lead to a more informed public, and a healthier and more upwardly mobile society. For those of us who own, operate, or work in bookstores, we are privileged to be participants in this important profession. The more bookstores the better. No one is more pleased than I am that independent bookstores are opening their doors again. I do not see them as being in mortal competition with Barnes & Noble any more than we were in competition with them when we were opening 50 stores each year.

  • Bookselling for Britain a Manifesto from the Booksellers Association
    Bookselling for Britain A Manifesto from the Booksellers Association JN03_16_A4_Lobbying_V06_AW.indd 1 22/01/2016 15:50 Bookselling for Britain The book industry makes an important and positive social, economic and cultural contribution to the United Kingdom. British society has for centuries been founded on the belief that access to information and knowledge is a force for good. The book industry turns this aspiration into reality contributing to the liberal, inclusive values of all Britons. Bookselling helps underpin excellence in education and research, promotes literacy and reading for pleasure, develops present and future authors and writers, while preserving those of the past, and helps drive innovation and excellence in new forms of reading. Books enrich our culture, and help inspire other creative sectors – like theatre, cinema, television and music. Given the range of its impact across so many lives, the book industry is well placed to help Government deliver its aims across a range of areas, including; Ensuring school children achieve higher levels of literacy and numeracy. Helping consumers to access creative content in a safe online environment. Maintaining the UK’s world class research and higher education community. Helping the UK make the most of technological innovation. Helping the UK’s high streets to thrive and stay vibrant. The Booksellers Association (The BA) proposes the following measures for consideration by Government. We believe they will help ensure we maintain a strong, prosperous book industry, capable of working with all interested parties in delivering a highly literate and skilled workforce, a well-supported academic and scientific research base, and globally recognised innovative businesses able to compete for Britain in the global race in the 21st Century.

  • I Make Contact: Contributive Bookselling and the Small Press In
    i Make Contact: Contributive Bookselling and the Small Press in Canada Following the Second World War Cameron Alistair Owen Anstee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in English Literature Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Cameron Alistair Owen Anstee, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation examines booksellers in multiple roles as cultural agents in the small press field. It proposes various ways of understanding the work of booksellers as actively shaping the production, distribution, reception, and preservation of small press works, arguing that bookselling is a small press act unaccounted for in existing scholarship. It is structured around the idea of “contributive” bookselling from Nicky Drumbolis, wherein the bookseller “adds dimension to the cultural exchange […] participates as user, maker, transistor” (“this fiveyear list”). The questions at the heart of this dissertation are: How does the small press, in its material strategies of production and distribution, reshape the terms of reception for readers? How does the bookseller contribute to these processes? What does independent bookselling look like when it is committed to the cultural and aesthetic goals of the small press? And what is absent from literary and cultural records when the bookseller is not accounted for? This dissertation covers a period from 1952 to the present day. I begin by positing Raymond Souster’s “Contact” labour as an influential model for small press publishing in which the writer must adopt multiple roles in the communications circuit in order to construct and educate a community of readers.
