  • Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 of 2020 to Understate It—2020 Was Not Square Books’ Best Year
    Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 OF 2020 To understate it—2020 was not Square Books’ best year. Like everyone, we struggled—but we are grateful to remain in business, and that all the booksellers here are healthy. When Covid19 arrived, our foot-traffic fell precipitously, and sales with it—2020 second-quarter sales were down 52% from those of the same period in 2019. But our many loyal customers adjusted along with us as we reopened operations when we were more confident of doing business safely. The sales trend improved in the third quarter, and November/December were only slightly down compared to those two months last year. We are immensely grateful to those of you who ordered online or by phone, allowing us to ship, deliver, or hold for curbside pickup, or who waited outside our doors to enter once our visitor count was at capacity. It is only through your abiding support that Square Books remains in business, ending the year down 30% and solid footing to face the continuing challenge of Covid in 2021. And there were some very good books published, of which one hundred bestsellers we’ll mention now. (By the way, we still have signed copies of many of these books; enquire accordingly.) Many books appear on this list every year—old favorites, if you will, including three William Faulkner books: Selected Short Stories (37th on our list) which we often recommend to WF novices, The Sound and the Fury (59) and As I Lay Dying (56), as well as a notably good new biography of Faulkner by Michael Gorra, The Saddest Words: William Faulkner’s Civil War (61).

Most recent- Cly, the Kelly Gene Cook Sr. Chair of History and Professor of Southern Studies became the third recipient of the University of Mississippi’s Distinguished Research and Creative Achievement Award. The award was presented May 8 during the university’s com- mencement ceremony. “This award honors Dr. Wilson for his scholarly contributions and his role in anticipating, inspiring, and facilitating a field of interdisciplinary research known as Southern Studies,” said Alice M. Clark, vice chancellor of re- search and sponsored programs. “Dr. Wilson’s scholarship on Southern religion, memory, and culture has elevated obser- vances of life in the South to an area of academic inquiry.” Formerly director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, Wilson published his first book,Baptized in Blood: The Religion of the Lost Cause, 1865–1920, in 1980; it was reprint- ed with a new preface in 2009. According to his successor as Center director, Ted Ownby, “In that book Wilson helped an- ticipate a movement in the past generation that studies mem- ory as both politics and psychology. Baptized in Blood posed an essential question that scholars of the post–Civil War American South are still answering: if Confederates claimed Charles Reagan Wilson they were fighting a war in which God was on their side, how did they interpret defeat?” “I haven’t received other research awards, thus making this ships.

  • Almaty Retail Guide
    ALMATY Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Almaty | 2019 0 Almaty remains the largest city in Kazakhstan, its key business centre and primary retail destination; despite not being the country’s capital city. Almaty has almost 3 times the number of international companies operating within the city than in Nur-Sultan, providing ever-stronger competition against the capital. Almaty has recently been challenged by the economic instability in the region adversely affecting the retail sector. However, the city still benefits from increasing retail turnover, a low unemployment rate, the highest standard of living in Kazakhstan and a growing population. Almaty’s retail sector comprises a mix of traditional ‘bazaar‘-style markets, western-style shopping malls and a small element of on-street retail. Consumers are gradually moving away from shopping at markets and the success of shopping malls indicates a growing consumer demand for this type of retail format. More developers are adopting global retail concepts and trends. The market is witnessing a shift from primarily shopping destinations to one-stop shopping, dining and entertainment experience. Based on the total international-standard retail stock in the city of 423,000 sqm of leasable area and using the estimated population of 2 million people, the volume of retail space per 1,000 capita stands at 210 sqm, that is comparatively less ALMATY mature than developed European markets. Economic uncertainty adversely affected the Almaty retail development pipeline, which as a result is currently comprised of OVERVIEW a few existing projects scheduled for refurbishment and expansion of the existing shopping areas.
