Publisher: The Bookseller | News about the book business

The Bookseller has been the leading business magazine for the book industry since 1858; incorporating the even earlier Bent's Literary Advertiser, established in 1802. It is one of the longest-standing magazines in the UK and has reported on every key trade event from the launch of George Eliot's Mill on Floss in 1860, to an interview with an as yet-unknown JK Rowling's in 1997, to the demise of the Net Book Agreement in 1995, which paved the way for the price-cutting of today's Amazon-dominated market. The magazine In print form, The Bookseller is a weekly source of incisive, objective industry news and analysis, reaching all major bookshops and publishers in the UK and in nearly 100 countries worldwide. The magazine was re-designed in November 2013 with a focus on getting behind the news headlines and exploring the key strategic issues for the book trade. On top of business news and analysis, The Bookseller has a key role in providing preview coverage of books some three months prior to publication. As well as being key competitive intelligence for publishers, this performs an invaluable role in deciding which titles bookshops and libraries should stock. The quality of The Bookseller's judgment means that it used by the National Press as a primary source for deciding which books to review and by Literary Festivals for deciding which authors to book for talks. The magazine includes the official UK Top 50 chart of best-selling books, produced by a dedicated charts editor from data supplied by Nielsen BookScan. Other charts include best-selling children's books and independent bookshop top-sellers. In July 2013, The Bookseller launched a new, exclusive, monthly, Top 50 e-book ranking. Based on figures supplied by all of the major UK publishers, it is the primary ranking of best-selling e-books outside of the self-publishing and free e-book sectors. The Bookseller's author interview programme has two streams: first, a focus on less established writers, whom the trade is unlikely to know, such as Eleanor Catton, prior to her Man Booker success and Eowyn Ivey and second, the first mainstream interview with some of our best-known authors including Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Coe and Adele Parks.
