9. 50 Shades of Grey UK Bestseller:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts22358062
Sales Slump in 2012:
Sales of printed books fell by almost £74m in
the UK last year, according to the data from
Nielsen BookScan
In total, readers spent £1.514bn on physical
books in 2012, down 4.6% from 2012
The rate of decline slowed slightly, principally
because EL James‟ Fifty Shades trilogy, which
accounted for one in every 20 books bought
last year
E-books continued to be popular, accounting
for 13-14% of book sales
That marked an increase of 5% from 2011, but
the value of the entire book market shrank by
because of heavy discounting of digital titles –
with many bestsellers retailing for less than a
pound
Data collected on the sales of physical book
records around 90-95% of all consumer sales
in the UK, but less than robust for the e-book
market
10.
The value of digital fiction sales in the first
half of 2012 was up 188% on the same
period in 2011
Physical book sales saw a drop in value,
dropping 0.4% year on year
Industry experts said that while the figures
were healthy, other areas of the industry,
such as bookshops, continued to struggle
financially
“Certainly the strong e-book growth has
taken the tarnish off the otherwise tricky
market” said Philip Jones, editor of The
Bookseller.
“It is good news that the market is
transitioning and making money from that,
but it is moving to a trickier situation where
there are fewer booksellers.”
The figures show impressive increases
across the board in the year where e-book
popularity – in particular the likes of Fifty
Shades of Grey – hit the headlines for
racking up massive sales
Sales of digital children‟s books were up
171%, while non-fiction titles increased by
128%
11.
“Whether books are enjoyed physically or
electronically, publishers will continue to invest
in exciting authors and titles.”
“What we don‟t know yet is what will happen
when more bookreaders get tablet devices,” he
said.
“This will be the first Christmas where you get
more cheap tablet devices from the likes of
Barnes and Nobles, Amazon and Kobo.
“There‟s a good deal of uncertainty about what
will happen on Boxing Day 2012 when a few
million people open up their tablet and think
„What am I going to buy on it?‟.”

Publishing Digital Switchover:
The latest figures from the Publishers
Association make surprisingly positive reading
for anyone in book trade. For some years,
readers of specialists, technical and academic
titles have been going digital – now the general
reader is embracing e-books.
Spending on digital fiction books rose from
£23m in the first six months of 2011 to £64m in
the same period this year. In total, digital sales
now account for more than £1 in every £8
12.
But what will cause the publishing industry to
raise a glass of dry sherry is that the figure for
physical book sales is down just 0.4% - and
overall physical and digital sales are up 6%. It
seems that the move to digital is not eroding
the overall value of publishing as it has in the
music industry where, as the saying
goes, analogue dollars are being replaced by
digital cents.
Of course, the big contrast with the music
industry is the extent of online piracy, which
has yet to make an impact on publishing. “We
do send thousands of copyright infringement
notices to Google every month,” Mr Mollet
told me, “but its not on the scale of the music
industry.”
The book trade did have the benefit of
observing what had happened to the music
long before its own digital transformation got
underway. What‟s more, legal digital platforms
like the Sony Reader and Kindle were around
before consumers had the chance to choose
an alternatives unlicensed “brand”. “We didn‟t
have a Limewire or a Napster to contend
with,” Richard Mollet says.

Students are the biggest culprits when it
comes to e-book piracy, according to an
online data monitoring company
NetNames say its investigators looked at the
availability of 50 popular textbooks across
five different disciplines in the UK
In total, 76% of the titles were available to
download free in pirated form on one e-book
sharing site
NetNames says publishers are trying to beat
piracy by getting their content out to the
users as quickly as they can
Science and engineering where the most
pirated academic books
“About a quarter of all novels bought in the
UK are bought as e-books, so as that digital
market grows were bound to see a little bit of
piracy along side it.”

“But I have to say, its a very small issue
compared to the sort of levels we see in film
and music. E-books are nowhere near that.”
“No such thing as a bad book for children”:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts24521225
Fantasy author Neil Gaiman has said “snobby
and foolishness” by adults about certain books
can easily destroy a child‟s love of reading
“I don‟t think there is such a thing as a bad
book for children”, Gaiman said on Monday
night in a speech leading figures from the
arts, education and literary world
“I‟ve seen it happen over and over”: Enid Blyton
was declared a bad author, so was RL Stein, so
were dozens of others. Comics have been
declared as fostering illiteracy. “Its tosh. Its
snobby and its foolishness.”
“There are no bad authors for children, that
children don‟t like and want to read and seek
out, because every child is different. They can
find the story they need to, and they bring
themselves to the stories.
“A hackneyed ,worn-out idea isn‟t hackneyed
and worn-out to them. This is the first time the
15. encountered it. Do not discourage children
from reading because you feel that they are
reading the wrong thing. Fiction you do not
like is the gateway drug to other books that
you may prefer. And not everybody has the
same test as you.”
“Well-meaning adults can easily destroy a
child‟s love of reading: stop them reading
what they enjoy, or give them worthy-but-dull
books that you like, the 21st Century
equivalents of Victorian „improving‟ literature.
You‟ll wind up with a generation convinced
that reading is uncool and worse,
unpleasant.”
In his speech, Gaiman said he worried that
people “misunderstand what libraries are” in
the 21st Century.
“If you perceive a library as a shelf of books, it
may seem acquitted or outdated in a world in
which most, but not all, books in print exist
digitally. But that is to fundamentally miss the
point. I think it has something to do with the
nature of information.”
He added: “For all of human history, we have
lived in a time of information scarcity, and
having the needed information was always
16. where to find things, maps and histories and
stories...”
