Welcome to News and Special Offers –February / March
There are a lot of new Trade Union books and especially pamphlets listed; most of the CPGB’s History Group “Our History” pamphlets are now available; new pamphlets from the WRP stable; a large collection on Bulgaria (Romania will be added in February). I have stocked up on new copies of Lenin’s Collected Works which will shortly go out of print.
One new book that is selling well is “Revolutionary Communist at Work: A Political Biography of Bert Ramelson” by Roger Seifert and Tom Sibley and published by Lawrence & Wishart. Occasionally I stock such new titles – when I can get a discount. This is now available at the reduced and highly competitive price of Ł20.50.
I am sometimes asked about the state of the second book trade and what the trends are so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on this, and I’d be interested to hear if this corresponds with your experiences as buyers, so please do reply if you wish.
Firstly on the e-book – “e-publication” would be a better term, as they are not books. This affects the new book trade more than the second hand one, but it must be a factor in declining sales. And my sales are declining where they can be easily measured originating from ABE and Amazon, with ABE suffering more than Amazon – and this is despite listing more and more titles. This decline has been noticeable for 18 months and must reflect the world economic crisis. My sales have held up over the last two years thanks to some good institutional sales (but these can be erratic), the quarterly catalogues and a solid band of regular customers to whom I am extremely grateful – so if you recognise yourself here, thank you!
There are now so many people listing books for sale, via ABE and Amazon, that prices are generally coming down all the time – it is a buyer’s market. There are always exceptions – sometimes sellers see a small number of copies of a book for sale on the net, or none, and assume it is very rare so put a ridiculous price on it; in fact, the book may not be common but it may be of no interest whatsoever. This ever increasing number of sellers does bring problems; the quality of descriptions of books, and more importantly of the condition of books, and packing, can be very poor - far too many dealers send books out just in a thin padded envelope. Repeated bad experiences can put buyers off. If you order books regularly from the net, you soon get to know who packs well, and describes well. I have a list of dealers I will never buy from again, however good a bargain a title appears. The answer is to use dealers you know, and those who are in trade organisations like the PBFA, the largest in Britain. You will be able to return books without any problems from such sellers. You may pay a bit more for the books, but professional dealers, and especially specialist ones, will spend more time describing books, searching for books in their areas of interest, and dealing with queries than an individual who just lists them like widgets. So although the net provides an apparently transparent market, there are pitfalls.
The print on demand books must also be taking sales – possibly more than e-readers - but I have no concrete evidence for this. With this facility it is now possible to obtain thousand of books that were previously just not available, even in major libraries. The quality may occasionally be poor and they are aesthetically nowhere near as pleasing as original books, but for researchers and those who just want to read material previously unobtainable, it is a remarkable development. The number of titles is increasing at a phenomenal rate and the only limitation on this would appear to be with recent titles were copyright is withheld. A downside of the print on demand material is that it clogs up searches on ABE, but these books can now be removed from any search.
Some second hand bookshops complain about the role of charity bookshops in their area, but any decent shop should be able to take this in its stride. There has been much correspondence about this in the trade, and Oxfam have come in for a lot of unpleasant criticism. It is high street rents that are a greater threat to both second hand and new shops.
So please keep supporting dealers like us, small independent shops – and the few radical ones if you are close to one – buy direct from us instead of via Abe and especially Amazon, who incidentally own ABE but fortunately with a hands off approach so far, and who are offer very poor terms to sellers. And don’t let Amazon and Google take over the (book) world!
BARGAINS
Every two months we will list a new selection of bargains – these have to be ordered direct from us and not via ABE, where they are listed at the full price. The bargain price is given in brackets after the current price.
Please note that description of condition of book comes first then condition of dustwrapper if there is one.
