The booksellers free stream voyage package. What to buy What to look for when buying print, e- or audio-books: Is it independent? Buying from independent shops supports local businesses and preserves spaces for the sacred practice of book-browsing. Going indie also sends more money to authors than the juicy offers dangled by the big retailers. Does it gain marks under Company Ethos? Buy from retailers that are charities, not-for-profit or have some other socially beneficial structure. Read the FAQs to make sure that any do-gooding claims on the front page are genuinely meaningful actions. Can you swap or lend? You may not know it but both physical books and e-books can be swapped and loaned. This reduces the environmental impact of your reading habit. See below for links to relevant schemes. Best Buys All the following are our Best Buys for booksellers: World of Books (print) Oxfam (print) NearSt (print) (eBooks) WH Smith (audiobooks) Also Recommended Better World Books, Guardian Bookshop and Hive. What not to buy What to avoid when buying print, e- or audio-books: Is it Amazon? Amazon is a giant in?the e-book?market through its Kindle brand. We have been spearheading a boycott of Amazon's goods and services. The company's poor tax record and many workers' rights abuses are just the tip of a very unpleasant?iceberg. Is it online? Research?suggests that physical bookshops are critical for book discovery and selection. Some argue?that serendipity and accidental discovery generates as much as two-thirds of UK book sales, and that it doesn’t work online. Does it have a timber policy? When buying new print books, look for the FSC logo on the back. Borrowing from a library is even better for the environment and supports authors too. Companies to avoid We suggest?that consumers steer clear of Amazon. Scoring 0/20 is no mean feat and consumers should be wary of the wider implications before being seduced by?the company's cheap prices.

Our Analysis In this guide, we look at company ethics in each of the key publishing markets (print, eBook and audiobooks), highlight the brands seeking to consolidate and survive, and make the case for including authors in our ethics. Print revival? After years of fluctuations, the market for books seems to have found a new equilibrium. The book trade is managing to (just about) hold on in the face of Amazon, eBooks are losing their shine and the demise of independent bookshops may have been halted. Print still dominates the books market (over 80% share) but its growth from year to year isn’t steady. After booming in 2015 and 2016, sales of print books flattened out in 2017, growing by only 0. 1%. Despite appearances this could actually be positive news. In 2017, there were no smash hits (‘Go Set A Watchman’, ‘The Girl on the Train’, yet another ‘Fifty Shades’ instalment... ) as there had been in the previous two years. Nevertheless, print books still managed to register growth, which market researchers Mintel interpret as a sign that the print revival is a long-term trend. [1]?Amazon continues to dominate the market in print books, with over half of people buying them doing so through the retail giant. Bookshops on the brink Waterstones on the high street and Blackwell’s on university campuses are the only remaining nationwide, dedicated, bricks and mortar bookshops in the UK, although Foyles may be added to this list for those living in London, Bristol, Birmingham and Chelmsford. WHSmith and The Works also have a high street presence but are not dedicated book retailers. The decline of independent bookshops was arrested in 2017, with the total number actually growing, if only by one. The tally now stands at 868, which is over one thousand fewer than it was back in 1995. There are more hen harriers in the UK than independent bookshops! You can find local bookshops at Independent Bookshop Week. Once you’ve gone in and purchased your 2019 diary, you should block out Independent Bookshop week, which is happening 15-22 June. This is run by the Bookseller’s Association and is part of their ‘Books Are My Bag’ campaign:. Follow @booksaremybag on Twitter for news and updates. BAMBassador Benjamin Zephaniah. Books are his bag. Buy or borrow? Buying second hand books is good for the environment because you’re reusing a thing that has already been made, rather than chopping down trees to create a new thing. If you’re buying used books from a charity shop, then you’re also doing something philanthropic. The downside to buying used books is that the authors receive no royalty or other payment from these sales. This is less of a problem if the book you’re buying is something by Homer, but it is an issue for living authors who don’t have salaries and, instead, rely on royalties to buy things like toilet paper and oat milk. Borrowing from libraries is an excellent middle ground. Not only are you supporting another endangered species, but authors do receive payment when their works are loaned through a library. This applies to print, eBook and audiobooks. Free download sites and eBook swapping sites should be approached with caution. Some are illegal in the UK and may not be supporting authors or publishers. An exception is Project Gutenberg, which is run by the not-for-profit Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and provides free access to e-versions of books no longer under copyright. Another not-for-profit initiative is LibriVox, which crowdsources audiobook narrations of books in the public domain and makes them available for free. There are also sites touting themselves as platforms for sharing new books to book industry professionals and enthusiasts. Above the Treeline and NetGalley give ‘readers of influence’ access to free copies of new releases in exchange for feedback and reviews. eBooks eBooks account for just under a fifth of all book sales in the UK and the sector is growing faster than print ? eBooks grew by 2. 9% in 2017, compared to 0. 1% for print. There has been some debate in recent months about the future of eBooks after the CEO of global publisher, Hachette Group, described eBooks as stupid ’: “It is exactly the same as print, except it’s electronic. There is no creativity, no enhancement, no real digital experience. ” eBook defenders rallied, citing the accessibility of eBooks in remote locations and their usefulness to people with visual impairments. Others pointed out that imaginative users have adapted certain eBook features, such as highlighting and public notes, for social networking, demonstrating that innovation isn’t only ‘top down’. Price rules the world of eBooks. Mintel found that many eBook consumers immediately look for the cheapest offer and publishers and self-publishing authors are under pressure from retailers like Amazon to reduce their prices in return for more promotion and prominence. The heads of both the Society of Authors and the Publisher’s Association find this trend alarming: “The routine discounting and implied devaluing of printed books ? often at the authors’ expense ? is already a big problem. The last thing we need is to encourage even more discounting on digital platforms. ” ? Nicola Solomon, Society of Authors. “ Amazon have a vested interest in lowering prices as much as they possibly can because it helps them maintain their market share. Effectively, they’re saying, ‘In order to promote your book, we’re going to dictate the price’... [Our members] invest a lot of money in authors and feel that they price their books appropriately. We are not seeking to sell very low [priced] commodities. ” ? Stephen Lotinga, Publisher’s Association. In short, normalising low prices devalues the market and squeezes author incomes even further. Factor in the 20% VAT charged on eBooks (but not on print books) and it’s barely worth putting finger-tip to keyboard. If you are an eBook reader, check out our guide to Tablets and eReaders. Audiobooks The big new market is audiobooks. Attempting to capitalise on the popularity of podcasts and in an effort to take on Amazon’s Audible service, several publishers (Kobo, Google) have introduced audiobooks, while Spotify has done a deal with Bloomsbury for audiobooks, and the US company recently launched in the UK.

La vie. la mort true. China is quick gaining a well deserved reputation as the most reprehensible autocratic nation in the world China may have opened to the world, but for my part, I would have preferred it stayed closed. Count the happy places and happy people it has ruined. Tibet, Uighur autonomous region, soon to ruin Hk. But of course, it would prefer we in the west not meddle in its internal affairs. I would prefer it stay entirely internal. Go play with itself like in the days of Mao.

Bookselling is the commercial trading of books, the retail and distribution end of the publishing process. People who engage in bookselling are called booksellers or bookmen. The founding of libraries in 300 BC stimulated the energies of the Athenian booksellers. In Rome, toward the end of the republic, it became the fashion to have a library, and Roman booksellers carried on a flourishing trade. The spread of Christianity naturally created a great demand for copies of the Gospels, other sacred books, and later on for missals and other devotional volumes for both church and private use. The modern system of bookselling dates from soon after the introduction of printing. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries the Low Countries for a time became the chief centre of the bookselling world. Modern book selling has changed dramatically with the advent of the computer. With major websites such as Amazon, ebay, and other big book distributors all offering affiliate programs, book sales have now, more than ever, been put in the hands of the small business owner. Greek and Roman booksellers In the book of Jeremiah the prophet is represented as dictating to Baruch the scribe, who described the mode in which his book was written. These scribes were the earliest booksellers, and supplied copies as they were demanded. Aristotle possessed a somewhat extensive library, and Plato is recorded to have paid the large sum of one hundred minae for three small treatises of Philolaus the Pythagorean. When the Alexandrian library was founded about 300 BC, various expedients were used for the purpose of procuring books, and this appears to have stimulated the energies of the Athenian booksellers. In Rome, toward the end of the republic, it became the fashion to have a library as part of the household furniture. Roman booksellers carried on a flourishing trade. Their shops ( taberna librarii) were chiefly in the Argiletum, and in the Vicus Sandalarius. On the door, or on the side posts, was a list of the books on sale; and Martial, who mentions this also, says that a copy of his First Book of Epigrams might be purchased for five denarii. In the time of Augustus the great booksellers were the Sosii. According to Justinian, a law was passed granting to the scribes the ownership of the material written; this may be the beginnings of the modern law of copyright. Islamic bookshops Abbasid Caliphate in the east and Caliphate of Córdoba in the west, encouraged the development of bookshops, copyists, and book dealers across the entire Muslim world, in Islāmic cities such as Damascus, Baghdad, and Córdoba. According to Encyclopædia Britannica: Scholars and students spent many hours in these bookshop schools reading, examining, and studying available books or purchasing favourite selections for their private libraries. Book dealers traveled to famous bookstores in search of rare manuscripts for purchase and resale to collectors and scholars and thus contributed to the spread of learning. Many such manuscripts found their way to private libraries of famous Muslim scholars such as Avicenna, al-Ghazālī, and al-Fārābī, who in turn made their homes centres of scholarly pursuits for their favourite students. Christianity The spread of Christianity naturally created a great demand for copies of the Gospels, other sacred books, and later on for missals and other devotional volumes for both church and private use. Before the Reformation and the introduction of printing, scribes and stationers who sold books formed guilds. Some of these stationers had stations built against the walls of cathedrals. Besides the sworn stationers there were many booksellers in Oxford who were not sworn; for one of the statutes, passed in 1373, expressly states that, in consequence of their presence, books of great value are sold and carried away from Oxford, the owners of them are cheated, and the sworn stationers are deprived of their lawful business. It was, therefore, enacted that no bookseller except two sworn stationers or their deputies, should sell any book being either his own property or that of another, exceeding half a mark in value, under a pain of imprisonment, or, if the offence was repeated, of forfeiting his trade within the university. French Booksellers In 1810 Napoleon created a system by which, a would-be bookseller had to apply for a license (brevet), and supply four references testifying to his morality, and four confirmations of his professional ability to perform the job. All references had to be certified by the local mayor. If the application was accepted, the bookseller would have to swear an oath of loyalty to the régime. The application process was conducted to ensure that the new bookstore was not a place that distributed rebellious publications. The brevet process continued until 1870. Source: Wikipedia: Bookselling Modern bookselling The modern system of bookselling dates from soon after the introduction of printing. The earliest printers were also editors and booksellers; but being unable to sell every copy of the works they printed, they had agents at most of the seats of learning, such as Antony Koburger, who introduced the art of printing into Nuremberg in 1470. The religious dissensions of the continent, and the Reformation in England under Henry VIII and Edward VI, created a great demand for books; but in England neither monarchs of the Tudor nor Stuart dynasties could easily tolerate a free press, and various efforts were made to curb it. The first patent for the office of king's printer was granted to Thomas Berthelet by Henry VIII in 1529, but only such books as were first licensed were to be printed. At that time even the purchase or possession of an unlicensed book was a punishable offense. In 1556 the Company of Stationers was incorporated, and very extensive powers were granted in order that obnoxious books might be repressed. In the following reigns the Star Chamber exercised a rather effectual censorship; but, in spite of all precaution, such was the demand for books of a polemical nature, that many were printed abroad and surreptitiously introduced into England. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries the Low Countries for a time became the chief centre of the bookselling world, and many of the finest folios and quartos in our libraries bear the names of Jansen, Blauw or Plantin, with the imprint of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Leiden or Antwerp, while the Elzevirs besides other works produced their charming little pocket classics. The southern towns of Douai and Saint-Omer at the same time furnished polemical works in English. Queen Elizabeth interfered little with books except when they emanated from Roman Catholics, or touched upon her royal prerogatives; and towards the end of her reign, and during that of her successor, James, bookselling flourished. So much had bookselling increased during the Protectorate that, in 1658, was published A Catalogue of the most Vendible Books in England by W. London. A bad time immediately followed. Although there were provincial booksellers the centre of the trade was St. Paul's Churchyard. When the Great Fire of London began in 1666 the booksellers put most of their stock in the vaults of the church, where it was destroyed. The Restoration also restored the office of Licenser of the Press, which continued until 1694. In the first copyright statute, the Statute of Anne (1709), which specially relates to booksellers, it is enacted that, if any person shall think the published price of a book unreasonably high, he may make a complaint to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and to certain other persons named, who shall examine his complaint, and if well founded reduce the price; and any bookseller charging more than the price so fixed shall be fined £5 for every copy sold. Apparently this enactment remained a dead letter. Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers (until 1937 the Worshipful Company of Stationers) (usually known as the Stationers' Company) is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Stationers' Company was formed as an organisation in 1403; it received a Royal Charter in 1557. It held a monopoly over the publishing industry and was officially responsible for setting and enforcing regulations until the enactment of the Statute of Anne in 1710. In 1403, the Corporation of London approved the formation of a Guild of Stationers. At this time, stationers were either text writers, lymners (illuminators), bookbinders or booksellers who worked at a fixed location (stationarius) beside the walls of St Paul's Cathedral. Booksellers sold manuscript books, or copies thereof produced by their respective firms for retail; they also sold writing materials. Illuminators illustrated and decorated manuscripts. Printing gradually displaced manuscript production so that, by the time the Guild received a Royal Charter of Incorporation on 4 May 1557, it had in effect become a Printers' Guild. In 1559, it became the 47th in City Livery Company precedence. Source: Wikipedia: Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers.

Personally I think doing a political movie in this day and age is just not in good taste. Well not all democrats are bad and just oppose in some views(can compromise) the big problem with democrats is corruption. The main reason Trump got into office was because a lot of politicians were corrupt. Not because russian collusion or that nonsense. Unfortunately, democrats try to accuse Trump of corruption with no evidence, instead of owning up to their party's faults and reforming. While the republican party isn't perfect, they aren't a tumor of corruption either.
Ever see a trailer for a movie that you KNOW is going to be good, but at the same time you absolutely DON'T want to see it because you know how it will make you feel.

You can't change the society in asking politely to the dictators who owns the power to give up their power. You must be dreaming.
