In important accounts of Mary Davys's short epistolary work Familiar Letters Betwixt a Gentleman and a Lady (1725), Riley (1995) and Wakely (2005) suggest Davys subverts the amatory mode through its Whig, and feminist, inversion of the Tory seduction narrative. This paper's identification of an early edition of the text, printed for J. Roberts, and attributed to the pseudonym "Dick Fisher" in 1718 complicates these accounts while providing a new vantage point from which to read the text. Importantly, new prefatory and paratextual material associated with the publication demonstrate both Davys's commercial acumen and the porous character of the book trade in the early eighteenth century. Using this publication as a case study, this paper examines authorial agency and the complex nature of book production in the early British book trade, arguing that understanding such multiplicities is necessary for the reading of early women writers and their work.

In the contemporary dynamic and turbulent economic environment being present and up to the minute becomes a necessity for almost any business. Social media is a communication infrastructure that allows and concomitantly sets the rules for information and message dissemination. Just as most organizations nowadays, publishing houses need to establish a strong online presence through posts on social media platforms. As they are both economic and cultural agents, the messages shared by publishers on social networks imply a higher degree of social responsibility and their content is particularly important. The present paper aims to explore how Romanian publishing houses are communicating with their current and potential customers on social platforms. The posts on various social media such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. from the last two months of 2022 and the first two months of 2023 are investigated through the content analysis research technique. As the book industry is strongly linked to the concept of knowledge, the analysis is performed from the perspective of the Theory of Knowledge Fields. The findings of this study could prove useful to various actors involved in the book industry and other cultural organizations, as it provides insights into cultural promotion via social platforms practices. The subject is topical since book consumption is an essential part of a healthy cultural and social life of a country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores UK bookselling in terms of the retail buying functions, promotional activity, merchandising, and stock management processes commonly adopted. The business structures and mechanisms that dictate organizational book buying in the UK market are also explored in terms of the time allowed for titles to succeed or fail. These very practical and logistical aspects of retailing are brought to life by the qualitative data obtained through seven semi-structured interviews in 2018–2019. The sample represented actors across the UK publishing industry supply chain but focused predominantly on the book buyer function. This research finds that the sale-or-return purchasing model, prevalent in the UK book trade, plays a crucial role in dictating the window of opportunity for books to succeed or fail; the book-buyer gatekeeper function is pivotal and highly sensitive to local demand; and that local demand is fulfilled through the curation of predictable or proven products in combination with novel or speculative products – the level of purchasing risk is dependent on retail location and footfall. These findings are aligned with organizational buyer behaviour, retail location theory, and buyer behaviour theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose -- This paper measures different market risk impacts on options portfolios under the new Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) regulation, issued in Basel and coming into effect in 2023. Design/methodology/approach -- This paper first suggests an algorithm for implementing the FRTB standardised approach via the sensitivities-based method to estimate a portfolio's risk capital and presents an illustration applied to an option position. Second, it proposes a methodology to estimate the expected shortfall in options portfolios from the FRTB internal models approach. In this regard, an application is developed to measure expected shortfall (ES) and value at risk (VaR) impacts under FRTB versus conventional VaRin a currency option position by considering stress scenarios from the 2007-9 and 2020-1 crises and back-testing procedures. Findings -- The suggested algorithm satisfactorily captures impacts via the sensitivities-based method, and higher risk capital demands are expected for emerging economies. Also, the planned FRTB methodology to measure ES and VaR is appropriate; in particular, historical metrics perform well. Astonishingly, their revealed impacts are more significant under the 2020-1 pandemic crisis than the 2007-9 financial crisis. Originality/value -- The proposals developed weave a communication bridge between the standardised and internal approaches of FRTB regulation, which can be scaled up technologically and institutionally.

This article presents and analyzes the history of Livraria Francesa and Livraria Duas Cidades, two landmark establishments for São Paulo intellectuals in the second half of the 20th century. The first one, founded in 1947 by the French immigrant couple Paul-Jean and Juliette Monteil; the second, erected in 1954 by the Dominican Friar Benevenuto de Santa Cruz. Considering the relevance of bookstores for the history of books in Brazil, we approached the book trade in the city of São Paulo and its intellectual and cultural circuits during the 1950s and 1960s. Then we examine the trajectories of Livraria Francesa and Livraria Duas Cidades during this period, demonstrating how they contributed to the construction of São Paulo culture through the imports of French books and magazines. These publications met the demand of intellectuals and university students, which consolidated the two bookstores as important centers of intellectual formation and sociability in the city of São Paulo.

It is not a new finding that booksellers who settled in Hungary and Transylvania in the first half of the 19th century were predominantly German. They used their network of contacts in the motherland, bringing with them the customary law and traditions of German book publishing and book trade. Even in their new field of operation, they practically formed a (peripheral) part of the European-wide system of the German book trade. For logical geographical reasons, the bookshops in Hungary and Transylvania worked through Viennese agents, since the consignments arrived in Hungary via this route anyway. It was only in the second half of the 1860s that the Hungarian capital began to become an independent centre of commerce. Lacking their trade journal, Hungarian booksellers first published their notices and fought their internal battles in the Börsenblatt in Leipzig (from 1834) and later in the Oesterreichische Buchhändler-Correspondenz in Vienna (from 1870), until our newspaper, Corvina, began publication in 1878. However, the German and Austrian associations not only provided a means of communication through their journals but also a way of entering the European professional community through their professional directories. Leipzig book publisher Otto August Schulz’s directory started in 1839, and then Moritz Perles’ similar database was published in Vienna from 1866. Hungarian companies were quick to appear in both directories in large numbers, but if we count only the actual members of the respective associations, the numbers are much lower. The Börsenverein in Leipzig, for example, had only 7–8 Hungarian members between 1840 and 1880, while the Vienna association had many more. In practice, however, the Hungarian and Austrian book trade was in constant rivalry and conflict. There were financial reasons for these conflicts: on the one hand, vulnerability to the Viennese agents, which made a profit by transiting all Hungarian transactions, and on the other hand, the distribution of books by Austrian firms in Hungary, which cut into the potential profits of local firms. It should not be overlooked, however, that both the Austrian and the Hungarian associations were in the same vulnerable, subordinate position vis-à-vis Leipzig, which was the book capital of Europe at the time and had absolute economic dominance. From 1888 onwards, Austro-Hungarian relations, which were not always smooth, became very strained. In that year, the Börsenverein in Leipzig drew up new regulations which immediately forced all national associations to take action. This new hierarchical system was based on national (territorial) associations, which, as members of the Börsenverein, gave up part of their autonomy in exchange for exclusivity in the territory and the benefits of the parent association in Leipzig. The Hungarian booksellers acted slowly, while the Austrian association took immediate action: its new statutes, drawn up before the deadline of 1 January 1889, were adopted in Leipzig and the official member organisation of the Börsenverein throughout the monarchy became the Verein der Österreichisch-Ungarischen Buchhändler. Thus, from then on, the Börsenverein only admitted those Hungarian booksellers who could prove that they were members of the Vienna association. The only thing the Hungarian Booksellers’ Association could do was to negotiate to the extent that the Hungarian section of the Vienna Association would not be chaired and that the two associations would occasionally consult on matters of concern. It took a world war to change the unchangeable conditions established in 1889. The thunder of guns quickly made the decades of rivalry fade away, and they suddenly became ‘happy peacetime’. Booksellers fighting bankruptcy at home or fighting on the front line no longer saw each other as enemies but as partners in destiny and career. Hungarian and Austrian booksellers clung to the memory of the old world with the same nostalgia, but that world was over. After the end of the war, in 1920, negotiations began with the Börsenverein to recognise the Hungarian Booksellers’ Association as the professional representative body of the now independent Hungary, but it was only in 1929 that the contract was signed under which the Hungarian association became a recognised foreign body (Anerkannter Verein) of the Börsenverein.

In spring 2022, the Itaú Cultural in São Paulo, Brazil, returned the three-volume work A Journey to Brazil from its collection to Vienna University Library. The contribution draws attention to the library’s internal sources, the theft of art and cultural property, and Brazilian provenance research. It concludes that provenance research cannot be reduced to the era of National Socialism and its consequences but must be thought of as a global endeavour without time restrictions. The return of the work after more than two years made it possible to start researching the background of this exciting and multi-faceted provenance and criminal case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2020, as Statista published in 2022, over two billion people purchased goods or services online, and during the same year, e-retail sales surpassed 4.2 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide. These numbers are possible thanks to a wide internet access and the digitalization of the retail landscape and the convenience online shopping provides to the customers. The book industry considered a traditional one faces also a considerable digital transformation of the business models and customers benefit as a consequence of a variety of products, lower prices and convenience, as they can buy from all over the country. The present paper is the first of one trilogy that explores the preferences for bookstores among the Romanian readers, namely the preferences for online bookstores. The authors applied an online questionnaire to a non-probabilistic sample of 493 respondents, who had to express their preferences by providing points on a 5-point Likert scale. The main findings of the study reveal that: the cheaper online price is considered, the more respondents evaluate online buying as more convenient. Also the general public tends to present higher levels of pragmatism, browsing books in bookstores and buying them online.As the Romanian book market and in particular the bookstore businesses are barely studied, this paper is worthy for both academic and business environments.

The article concerns the problems of functioning the publishing and printing industry in Siberia and the Far East at the early XXI century: peculiarities of its infrastructure forming, entering the country’s printing services market, the place of a region in it. The paper objective is to represent the modern publishing and printing industry in Siberia and the Far East, its structural components, and determine the likely directions for further development of the regional market to printing product and service producers. The article reveals that, at the region territory, there are printing enterprises of various forms of ownership, production scale, printing technologies used, producing practically all types of publishing products of a wide range – from text editions to special ones. The leaders of the modern printing industry in the region are still the largest regional/area printing houses/media holdings - the flagships of the printing industry of certain territories in terms of provided products and services. At the same time, small printing enterprises start to play an increasing role, responding more flexibly and quickly to changes in consumer demand, changes and challenges of the printing services market. Their number in the region is quite large. The basis of small printing enterprises are district/city printing houses, print shops, advertising agencies, mini-printing houses, publishing centers. One can observe the continuation of the activity diversification of the largest printing houses in the region and the general digitalization of the activities of enterprises in the industry.

The book publishing industry and its market in Iran are not very prosperous for various reasons, and activists in this situation need to apply some cause-related marketing (CRM) strategies to attract customers. For this reason, this study was conducted to determine the perspectives of university students on CRM in the book publishing industry. The survey research design was used to achieve the objective of the study. Literature and humanities university students from University of Tehran, Iran, were identified as the target group to gauge their perspectives on CRM by book publishers. This is due to the importance of books in humanities and studying literature. A total of 261 (81.5% response rate) students completed the survey questionnaire. The findings demonstrate that CRM by book publishers and bookstores influences on students purchasing decisions. In this regard, it was vital for students as customers to know where the book publishers or booksellers spent their money on. Findings on various charity's affairs practices on spending book purchase money showed that the top priority are related to books, education, and children. Since students tend to purchase textbooks, it is suggested that textbook publishers take the lead in CRM through mass media, online advertising, social web and messaging platforms to help introduce and institutionalize this marketing strategy. As this is the first study in Iran that reports students' perspectives in applying CRM strategies to attract customers in buying books, it has paved the way for further research. It would be useful to make more informed decisions about CRM strategies in the Iranian publishing and book industry and creating a positive effect on book purchase intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teachers and caregivers use children's books (i.e., trade books) to support mathematics learning in school and home settings; shared book reading offers a unique opportunity to support students' understanding of operations and schema development. No prior studies have examined the representations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division schemas in trade books. We coded 88 children's books for additive and multiplicative schemas, the position of the unknown information, and features included in the problem-solving scenarios (e.g., single-step vs. multistep). Of the additive schemas, books most often represented join and separate schemas with an unknown end amount. With multiplicative schemas, the equal groups schema was most often represented. We discuss practical implications for using trade books to support schema development and problem-solving competency, and we provide suggestions for authors to better represent a range of schemas and text features to support students' mathematics understanding with more difficult schema concepts during shared reading.

Thomas Betterton has been described as 'the greatest English actor between Burbage and Garrick' as well 'the pre-eminent manager of his time' (ODNB) ; yet he began his career in the book trade, with an informal apprenticeship split between entirely different masters. The first was the ambitious John Holden who might have succeeded Humphrey Moseley as the most important literary publisher of the day, had he not died young. His second master was John Rhodes, who took a more pragmatic view of bookselling. Rhodes' heart was in the theatre—he briefly had his own company and purchased shares in a playhouse—but he understood that bookselling provided a more stable income. Rhodes would have kept the young Betterton busy in his bookshop, but he probably also gave Betterton his first stage experience. While Betterton went on to a brilliant acting and managing career, he continued his association with books, accumulating a large working library. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article sets out to explore the emergence of reading and print cultures in Waterford over the period from the opening of the city's Free Public Library to the outbreak of the Second World War in the twentieth century. It is intended to add to the growing body of writing emerging on reading and books in Ireland by honing in on the development of a local reading culture in an era of more democratic access to books, periodicals and other printed matter. By surveying the development of various lending and circulation libraries up to the establishment of the Waterford Free Public Library in 1896 and beyond into the Free State era, the argument will be made that many of the concerns around self-improvement and literacy remained constant despite the shift from member-run libraries to municipal libraries and from Victorian concerns about moral self-improvement to early Irish state concerns about nation-building and Catholic morality in the 1920s and 1930s. The article will also explore the publishing and book trade in the city throughout the same period. This small but significant industry provided employment for some of the very people who were the target of self-improvement and concerns about their ability to consume 'morally dubious' literature.

When one examines the descriptions of Hungarian travellers of the 16th–17th centuries, it can be stated that the young people – as the listed examples all bring to life the journeys of young people – were prepared for the trips. These young travellers were also accompanied by teachers, and they could read about the geography and people of the area to be visited in the libraries at home. It is also important that eruditive knowledge, complemented by the experience of the trip, reinforces the knowledge read. They also knew the importance of book publishing and the book trade, and we could cite more passages in this regard than in the case of libraries. The libraries they saw were admired, but usually left unmentioned. They must have visited the university library, yet we can hardly find any information about this in the letters and diaries sent to patrons and parents. In our study, we present and cite some examples, but we mention cases where the traveller also noticed the decoration of the library – paintings, sculptures – and furnishings. Globes are mentioned more often. At the end of the study, I mention that from the end of the 17th century we know of a university debate (dissertation) about libraries. Under the leadership of praesens Johann Georg Zihn, Adam Gruber, a citizen of Sopron, defended his thesis, Disputatio de bibliothecis (Leipzig, 1678). It is also the first library science work by an author from Hungary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores book talks as an approach to teaching Nature of Science (NOS) to young children (4–6 years old). To teach about NOS means to, in one way or another, focus on the processes, humans that build science knowledge, as well as the characteristics and limits of scientific knowledge. Previous research in this area has studied the representation of NOS in science trade books and suggested ways for teachers to highlight this content, specifically in relation to books that have been rendered "exemplary" for teaching NOS. This study focuses on the actual conversations (i.e., book talks) between teachers and children related to science trade books that are available in bookstores. The aim of the study was to contribute further knowledge about the characteristics of book talks related to such books when they are used as an approach to teaching NOS. Book talks (N = 58) between two teachers and their respective groups of children were audiorecorded and transcribed. The results contribute by shedding light on how teachers use the book as a resource in combination with other resources to highlight various aspects of NOS during book talks. This is important since it shows how book talks as an approach to NOS teaching can be staged even if exemplary books are not available. A tentative model that can scaffold teachers' didactic analysis is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Applying a translation policy model proposed by Gonzáles Núñez, the researchers focus on three translation policy aspects: translation management, translation practice and translation beliefs. While the Bureau was China's key official publisher producing foreign-language books and translations for export, the paper reconstructs its translation policy and offers a bibliometric analysis of its production over a span of fifty years. While most translations and publications of Portuguese literature received source-country subsidies, this is not the case in Italy, where only 18% of translations were supported. Most often, however, subsides are aimed directly at publishers of literature in translation, who act as the key gatekeepers of the intercultural dissemination process: they buy translation rights, hire translators and manage the production and promotion activities.

The article makes the case for David Foster Wallace's The Pale King as a literary intervention into the American ethos of productivity, which offers a critique of this ethos by exploiting the trope of acedia, or boredom. Wallace's novel employs acedia as the mode of its subjectivity and its main theme, thus creating a unique, recursive aesthetics, which is resistant to "productive" interpretations. Following Wallace's own vocabulary, I call this aesthetics "the aesthetics of the feedback glare." As a result of its recursive dynamics, the novel creates a series of micro-events. They can be classified as what Lauren Berlant calls "self-interruptions": the events that guard the heterotopic territory of the subject's (as well as the author's) agency against interpellative calls of the book industry for self-exploitation and productivity.

The article focuses on the Leipziger Bibliophilen-Abend's (LBA) participation in the 2024 Leipzig Book Fair, emphasizing their collaboration and camaraderie with the neighboring Pirckheimer-Gesellschaft. Topics include the mutual support and shared success between the two organizations, the LBA's goals of increasing visibility and engaging with members, and the presentation of the latest edition in their graphic series 24 x 34 Grafik by Dutch artists Aafke Ytsma and Selma van Panhuis.

Literary translation is an essential component of international exchanges and cultural diplomacy. For minority and minoritized languages, in particular, it is not only a window to other audiences but also a source of legitimacy among their own readerships. In this sense, governments and institutions often provide funding for translations to counter the difficulties that smaller literatures have to access the competitive global market and avail of its opportunities. This article explores the current state of the internationalization of contemporary Galician narrative to the anglophone world at a moment in which the latter is experiencing a period of increasing openness to translation driven mostly by independent presses. Why is it that, despite the institutional supports in place, most Galician narrative is struggling to find readerships in the English-speaking world? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bookbinders are still among the least known of the professions of the early modern Italian book trade, partly because they rarely signed their work. However, they had an undeniably fundamental role in the production and circulation of books (both manuscript and printed) across Italy, and especially in Venice, where the book trade was a particularly lively industry. In recent years, there has been a strong interest in early modern material culture but little attention has been paid to bookbinders, who quite literally shaped the materiality of books. This article looks at the scarcity of documentary sources on Venetian bookbinders between 1450 and 1630 both as a methodological challenge and as evidence of their role in local production and consumption of books. It explores both the lack of sources documenting the professional lives of binders, and sources traditionally underused in book history, to highlight the social lives of binders. Evidence of binders' family finances, marriages, and social and geographical mobilities is used to identify their lower social standing in the early modern Venetian book world in comparison to booksellers, the overlapping of their professional roles, and the locations of binders' workshops in the topography of the city.

Richard Pynson printed the first volume (books 1 and 2) on January 28, 1523 (STC 11396) and the second (books 3 and 4) on August 31, 1525 (STC 11397). The use of the same font for his edition of I Saynt Gregoryes Mother i (STC 12353), the vague statement that the book was printed "at London" (C4 SP v sp ), and the batch of fifty copies listed in the Powell inventory lead me to think that STC 12353 was printed at the George as well. Blayney fails to note that Skot's H had appeared in two earlier Redman books, STC 9519 (1528) and STC 15727 (April 6, 1528). In Redman's output, the C in STC 3186 had previously appeared in STC 9517.5 (January 3, 1527), 7713.9 (1530), and 25421 (March 23, 1532); the D, in STC 21567 (June 1, 1531); the I, in STC 18403 (1532); and the T, in STC 9861 [1531?] The old initials were deployed in later books only as the need arose, generally when a single forme required two of the same ornamental letters - e.g., inner F of STC 10971 (1541), a book that also uses Pynson's Tudor portcullis F as a decoration on 8 SP r sp , and inner D of STC 1908 [c. 1545].

This one-week project utilized the trade book Black and White: The Confrontation between Reverend Fred L. Shuttlesworth and Eugene Bull Connor (Brimner, 2011) to explore non-violent advocacies during the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement. Students read selected excerpts from the trade book and created a comic narrative to convey their understanding of the civil rights advocacies of Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth in Birmingham, Alabama. The students were able to accurately portray Rev. Shuttlesworth's actions in a cohesive narrative using evidence from the trade book within their comics. The students demonstrated a solid understanding of non-violent advocacies, and why these methods were ultimately successful. The selected trade book highlighted what is a local history topic for the students. The accuracy of the students' comic narrative suggests that the local connection was benefical to the students' engagement with and processing of the information in the trade book.

This article seeks to delineate principles for incorporating feminist practices into the three main roles of the antiquarian bookseller: buying, cataloging, and selling. While scholarship in feminist bibliography is growing in the academic sphere, and feminist movements for individuals in the rare book trade (such as the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America's Women's Initiative) have seen success in recent years, few formal explorations of feminism in the everyday practices of the trade have yet followed. Laying this groundwork is an important step in the wider efforts to build a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible rare book trade and body of avocational collectors, both of whom play critical roles in deciding what gets preserved, what ends up in institutional collections, and what is ultimately available for scholarly research. This article surveys principles for feminist practice with examples based on the author's own experience as an antiquarian book dealer and cofounder of a rare book firm. It outlines typically unspoken economic influences that have shaped the culture of the rare book trade, as well as how some traditions of the trade can perpetuate bias that results in unnecessary obstacles to attracting, welcoming, and maintaining relationships with collectors. In providing specific examples, this article also demonstrates how incorporating feminist principles into the fundamental skills of the rare book trade is beneficial to dealers, and thus why every bookseller should be a feminist bookseller. This practice benefits dealers in the short term by enabling them to buy in a more informed manner, as well as reducing the risk of needlessly alienating potential buyers of specific books in their cataloging and selling practices. Further, it benefits dealers in the long term by supporting the growth of a much bigger pool of buyers, as it is they who fundamentally keep the engine of the rare book trade running.

Edith Southey, Edith May Southey, and Sara Coleridge Jr. covered Robert Southey's books in vibrantly printed dress fabrics, creating a collection that came to be called "the Cottonian Library." This article is a manifesto for Cottonian bookbinding to be studied as feminist literary activism. It argues for the importance of looking beyond the book trades to the domestic and unremunerated ways in which women contributed to Romantic period book design, suggesting that the new feminist Craftivism can prompt us to historicize and to acknowledge the significance of Cottonian bookbinding as a practice that cannot be omitted from any history of women and the book.

This article pursues two lines of inquiry: first, recovering the presence of Black labor in the history of the book in colonial North America, the British Caribbean, and the early United States, with a second and complementary discussion of why critique must be foregrounded in the field formation of critical bibliography. Free and enslaved Black men and women helped make early American books possible. Their presences are to be found at the edges and vicinities of print cultural production, in roles such as papermaking, wagon driving, and forms of domestic labor that extended to the libraries and reading practices of white slaveholding societies. This article further contends that critique, specifically the modes of reflexive inquiry proposed by Michel Foucault's "historical-philosophical" archival practice and Theodor Adorno's negative dialectics, could connect the archival tools of bibliography to reparative scholarship and political dissent. This essay's recovery of Black women and men in the history of the book is therefore a critique of long-standing assumptions that bibliography and book history is a largely white topic, and the essay challenges scholars to examine their own investments in bibliography, which has a long history of exclusionary practices.
