Squires C (2021) Book sales have soared since the pandemic - but the industry must adapt to engage with new readers. The Converation. 14.10.2021.
Abstract
First paragraph: One day each October, the UK publishing industry focuses its attention on a large number of high-profile new book releases. ¡°Super Thursday¡±, as it is known in the trade, is the start of a seasonal promotion during which authors battle for space inside bookshops and under Christmas trees.
The timing is important, as the book-selling business is highly dependent on the festive season, with the final quarter of the year contributing substantially to annual sales. And while this year¡¯s super Thursday (October 14) will see fewer publications than previous years, it still boasts nearly 300 new hardbacks.
