International: ILAB pop up book fairs on UNESCO World
Book and Copyright Day, 23 April
From Sydney to Tokyo to Cape Town, from Moscow, London and
all the major European capitals to New York, Washington,
Chicago and the Pacific Northwest of the United States ILAB
Pop Up Book Fairs, organised by the world's expert
antiquarian booksellers, will appear on 23 April, 2015.
WHERE? In a woolshed in the Australian bush, at central
stations, on boats, in museums, libraries, streets, cocktail
clubs, brew pubs, on roof terraces and at the top of
skyscrapers. On UNESCO World Book and Copyright Day ILAB
booksellers will bring rare books to the people in the most
unexpected places!
HOW? Like a
Mexican wave starting the day in Australia and, as the sun
goes, finishing the day in the United States, scores of rare
book dealers will be organising Pop Up Fairs - a mixture
between bookish flash mob and speed dating for booklovers,
lasting only a few hours at unusual, but busy locations
where passers-by will discover a stunning selection of rare
books, prints, manuscripts and ephemera to promote the trade
of old and rare books and to support the UNESCO literacy
projects in Africa.

UK: Another good reason to
buy a book - you read the author's work uncensored
Have you ever read through a
particularly expletive-laden passage in a book and felt the
language was a bit too rich for your tastes?
If so, you
might be interested in Clean Reader which censors swear
words from e-books - and allows children to enjoy works of
literature that contain profanity.
The app replaces
certain words that might be deemed R-rated with more
friendly alternatives, but one author has derided it as
encouraging 'suppression'.
Read more
Joanne Harris, the award-winning author of Chocolat
and The Gospel of Loki, said she found the concept
of Clean Reader "infinitely more offensive than any of the
words it blanks out".

UK: HarperCollins to use
Twitter to sell books
In a
promotion tied to the release of the film adaptation of Insurgent, HarperCollins is working with Twitter to offer
fans of Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy a chance to buy a
hardcover of the Insurgent movie tie-in edition at a 35%
discount. HarperCollins is working with Twitter Commerce,
the social media platform’s effort to offer “native
commerce,” or offering firms the ability to send out tweets
with buy buttons embedded in them. The new promotion will
allow fans to purchase a hardcover edition of the Insurgent
movie tie-in edition at a 35% discount, direct from
HarperCollins, with one click without leaving the social
media site.

UK: New Copyright Law
threatens to put artists Like Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons in
jail
Have you been
following the increasingly alarming changes to copyright
provisions? Europe seems to be leading the way, though
backwards, in what amounts to an attack on the viability of
museums, publishers and art-related businesses to work with
artists and estates on reproduction rights. It also
threatens artists, too, criminalising appropriation when it
is considered a copyright violation. Art museums and
publishers are currently trying to work out how to respond
to the new British copyright law, which goes into effect in
2020 and effectively makes it more expensive to reproduce
images in publications and on goods offered in museum shops.

USA: Amazon's drones - the
pace quickens
Amazon has
been working to get its drones off the ground for a long
time, and the US's Federal Aviation Administration has
fought it every step of the way. Now, despite certain
well-publicised victories, the US has fallen behind European
countries when it comes to drones, and it's in danger of
slipping even further, Amazon Global Public Policy Vice
President Paul Misener told a Senate subcommittee today.
Apparently the company is designing and testing new drones
more rapidly than the FAA can regulate to keep up with them.
Where other countries have taken one or two months to
approve entire categories of Amazon drones for testing, the
FAA took over a year to OK a single drone model that's now
long obsolete, Misener said. "We don't test it anymore," he
said. "We've moved on to more advanced designs that we
already are testing abroad."

UK: Amazon in talks
with UK Government to launch deliveries by drones
Amazon is investigating starting
trials of its drone delivery service in the UK because
regulations in the US are too onerous. The online retailing
giant approached the Government about test flights of its
Prime Air service which plans to use small unmanned aircraft
to get purchases into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or
less.
Robert Goodwill, transport minister, said he had
met with the US company about test flights of the system.

UK: Three new bookshops open
Three new independent bookshops have
launched onto the scene in Manchester, Cheltenham and
Cornwall. The Suffolk Anthology opened its doors at the end
of last month in Cheltenham, run by former GP Helene Hewett
as a family business with her two children, selling new
titles, with a significant children’s section. Churchtown
Books opened in Mullion, Cornwall on 14th March, run by
Grant Wheeler selling new, mainly local interest books,
along with second hand and rare titles. Meanwhile sisters
Christine Cafun and Lyndsy Kirkman are set to open the 4,000
sq ft Chapter One Books in Manchester’s Northern Quarter
with a mini-theatre and café in early May.

International:
Off the beaten path bookshops
Booksellers in more than 50
countries can be found on the AbeBooks marketplace.
Thousands of easy-to-find bookshops are concentrated in the
great cities of the world - London, New York, Paris, Los
Angeles, Sydney and Berlin – but there are also countless
sellers located in places that take some finding. Remote
islands, tiny villages, small towns that are barely a speck
on the map and locations so isolated that they don't even
count as a hamlet. Enjoy our selection of bookshops off the
beaten track.

[With the forthcoming 'pop up book
fair' event, this photo gallery of bookshops in 'off the
beaten path' seems appropriate. Our thanks to Richard Davies

The next auction at Dominic
Winter is: Printed Books & Maps, English Literature,
Wednesday 8 April.
UK: Bonhams' Auction, 25
March
A rare first
edition of Robert Boyle's The Sceptical Chymist, a
milestone in the history of chemistry, sold at Bonhams,
London yesterday (25 March) for £362,500. It had been
estimated at £50,000-70,000. The Sceptical Chymist: or
Chymico-Physical Doubts & Paradoxes, touching the
Spagyrist's Principles commonly call'd Hypostatical, as
they are wont to be Propos'd and Defended by the
Generality of Alchymists, was published in 1661.
It is the first book that combined chemistry with
physics and paved the way for the work of Isaac Newton
and, 200 years later, Antoine Lavoisier. In it, Boyle
postulated the then revolutionary theory that matter was
composed of atoms and clusters of atoms in motion and
that every phenomenon was the result of the collision of
particles in motion. He also explored the relationship
between chemicals through the use of theory and
experiments rather than largely through observation.
The Sceptical Chymist was the highest selling lot in the
sale of the Library of the late Dr. Hugh Selbourne who
assembled one of the finest private collection of books
of the mid-20th century while practicing as a physician
in Manchester. The sale of Part One of the collection
made more than £1,750,000 and 90 percent of the books
and manuscripts were sold. This take total sales in
Bonhams Book department in the past t two weeks to over
£3,000,000.
Among other highlights were a
first edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species
which sold for £98,500 and a first edition of the
influential work of moral philosophy, A Treatise of
Human nature by the 18th century Scottish philosopher
David Hume which set a new world record price at auction
of £80,500.
Bonhams Head of Books, Matthew
Haley said, "Hugh Selbourne was a remarkable man who
assembled one the finest private collection of books
I've ever seen. The interest in the sale and the prices
achieved are a testimony to his great taste and
judgment."

Word Warriors - Words that
have fallen out of use
From Kevin Crowe,
Alba Books, Sutherland, Scotland.
When I obambulate through
subtopia, I notice a melange of rapscallions, philistines
and opsimaths, often creating a caterwaul of flapdoodle. Is
that sentence an example of concinnity or knavery?
What do you think? What is your favourite word that seems
to have fallen out of use? Let us
know. Ed.
You will find more words that have fallen out of use.
Go to 'Word
Warriors' and see which are the Top 10 lost words.

UK: Congratulations to Mr Books Bookshop, Tonbridge!
 To celebrate Mr. Books’ Tenth
Birthday the shop window display is a retro kids
birthday party scene with the centre piece being this
magnificent cake. This was commissioned from a local
cake shop called 'An Enchanted Cake or Two.' They were
given a fairly wide open brief to come up with a 'bookie
cake' and they’ve certainly exceeded all expectations.
It will be in the window for around a month to please
passers-by and, hopefully, entice a few of them into the
shop. "The cake is actually a dummy, with real icing
though, as I was reliably informed by the ladies at the
cake shop that letting people eat the real thing after
more than a few days would have landed me in jail!",
Mark Richardson told Sheppard's Confidential!)

TRADE REMINDERS & BENEFITS
|
International: Sheppard's Trade Suppliers
This new service consists of a database that allows suppliers to appear under
headings that apply to their business. It is possible that some companies / traders might appear under more than
one heading.
To create a trade entry - select trade Suppliers from the menu on
Sheppard's Confidential. Complete the contact details and add
a few words to promote your business. You can also upload a photo to appear in your entry.
Your business / trading name will also appear in
Sheppard's Confidential - which will keep
your name in front of our many readers. This goes
every week except for the Christmas break.
The
list is also accessible via the Home Page on
www.sheppardsconfidential.com.
The cost of the service - as it is promoting your business
to collectors and dealers in 44 countries
- is just £12 per year.
Fair Organisers Promotion of Exhibitors' Top Titles
Fair organisers can now offer
additional
promotion of dealers' titles that they intend to bring to the
event. If a fair manager can obtain details of the top
three titles from their
exhibitors, paste them into the
template provided and send the result by-mail to us, we will convert it to
a PDF and attach it to a display panel to go out to
collectors and dealers via Sheppard's
Confidential.
The main benefit is that the list
will be brought to the notice of all our readers rather than
sitting on a website which is passive.
Most of our services are free but we are asking £10
for the insertion per fair -
whether it is inserted into one or more more editions of
Sheppard's Confidential.
For more
information, write to
TopTitles@sheppardsconfidential.com
|
A reminder about our e-mail service
Readers who also subscribe to search our database
(Sheppard's World or Find a Dealer) know that it is possible
to send an e-mail to selected dealers with 'offers' or
'books wanted'. When creating e-mails, the sender cannot
see the recipient's e-mail address so if the recipient does
not reply, the sender will never know their address.
Dealers - please update your entry
We ask
ALL dealers registered on Sheppard's World to visit their entry at
least once a year (See Para in our Conditions) to correct and make
any amendments to their entry which our paying subscribers expect to
be current.
If you think your entry might be incorrect,
please update it as soon as possible.
Special Announcement
To
receive any immediate news notices, we issue short notes as
and when appropriate via our RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
service that most news organisations provide. This service
is free.
To receive this service - click on image - then view the
link (or place in your 'Favourites') to read the
broadcasts as and when you wish.
|
Past editions
Past editions can be found on our website. We show the last
16 editions - all of which are in a PDF format. Earlier
ones are available but on request.
Please note that shortly, any past editions retained in the
original HTML format by our readers for reference will find
that the advertisements and images will disappear.
We recommend that you download a PDF version for permanent
retention.
Searching dealers' catalogues
We have a large number of dealers' catalogues on
www.sheppardsconfidential.com
and these can be searched using
Acrobat Reader. For anyone not used to searching
these catalogues - once the file has been opened on your PC,
there are two ways to search for a title. Either hold the
Control key down (Ctrl) and hit `F' and enter all or part of
the title, or click `Edit' then either `Find' or `Search'.
When you find the title you seek - please contact the
dealer direct - the information is usually at the start of
the file.
Access to Sheppard's Confidential
Please note that you should use the same Logon ID and
Password to access
www.sheppardsconfidential.com There are calendars of
fairs and auctions - and catalogues submitted by
dealers. These are in PDF form so that you can search for
titles within each catalogue.
Attention - organisers of Fairs,
Auctions and Festivals
If dates for next year's events are known - do create new
entries as soon as possible. Dealers and trade members who
organise
book fairs, auctions and festivals can create entries for
the events they are organising. Although any late changes
must still be sent in by e-mail, we have made a major
improvement.
The entry form used to create entries has been changed.
For those organisers of multiple fairs where the majority of
details remain the same for each month - the form now allows
you to save the first entry - and use the same entry with
amendments of date, or time etc. for the next entry. This
is designed to save you time in creating entries.
To create the entry, use the same LoginID (as for
Sheppard's World) and password but on the sister website
www.sheppardsconfidential.com
- preview existing entries (in case we have it already) then
select `Add New Entry'.
All entries will be checked before they appear live on the
calendar - so please allow some 48 hours for this. If your
event is already there, please e-mail any amendment to
editor@sheppardsworld.co.uk

Catalogues on Sheppard's Confidential
Catalogues sent in are uploaded to our website where they can be searched and
browsed. Placing them on one location makes it quicker for users to locate catalogues containing
the subjects of books in which they are interested. So we welcome catalogues from all members of
the trade.
For anyone not used to searching these catalogues - once the file has been opened on your PC, there
are two ways to search for a title. Either hold the Control key down (Ctrl) and hit `F', or click `Edit' then
either `Find' or `Search'.
We now offer the additional service of converting your files into formats that suit devices
such as 'smart phones', e-readers' and 'tablets'. But to obtain the best layout, please also send in your Word or
HTML file.
If you use an iPad and have had
difficulty in seeing PDF files, please download iDownloader to your device first. |
During 2014 our site attracted a huge number of visits
from the public, collectors and dealers. In the 12
months of last year, 43,400 people visited the summary
page of catalogues - that's over 3,600 a month. And over
5,540 downloads resulted of which 4,700 were PDF files.
One feature of our site is that visitors can search
across ALL the PDF files in one hit using a key word or
expression.
This shortens the search time and makes
the site a very effective. So it is well worth your time
to have your catalogues added.
Catalogues received this week include:

and Travels)

Book & Magazine Collector
Dear Sir
Having now
finally cleared out the last of my book stock, I have
remaining for disposal a complete run of Book and Magazine
Collector, 328 issues in all, from 1984 to 2010, mostly in
binders. It seems a shame to have to dump them in the
recycling bin since they do contain a lot of interesting
articles, so I would like to offer them free for collection
from my address near Bath. Would anyone interested please
email me in the first instance at
tom.randall@dsl.pipex.com - yes I am also one of the
last Pipex users! Tom Randall.
Word Warriors
Dear Sir
Reading the Word Warriors note in the latest
Sheppard's Pie, we asked ourselves: how can you be such
flibbertigibbets? None of the words mentioned have 'fallen
out of use'.
