Australia: Pop Up Book Fair at Sydney's State Library
Sally Burdon writes: 'As the sun
goes down on Sydney, 14 happy ILAB affiliates are enjoying
the last hour of the Pop Up Book Fair at the State Library
of NSW. Over $1,000 of spines have filled two Empty Bookcase
Posters and booksellers report some high value sales.
The day began with a special whirlwind preview for 20 Sydney
librarians invited for a special preview. The 14 dealers
present were given 2 minutes to speak to the group. We
wanted to connect with librarians of all levels of
experience on World Book and Copyright Day of all days! The
world of ILAB Pop Up Book Fairs was officially opened by
Richard Neville, Mitchell Librarian and Professor Dame Marie
Bashir with the public present at 12 noon.
Retired
ANZAAB member Susan Tompkins has worked successfully
throughout the afternoon in the library halls, handing out
colourful invitation cards to students and passers by
inviting them to see the Pop Up, handle the books, chat to
the booksellers and, of course, buy a symbolic spine for
South Sudan.
The State Library of New South Wales
held a special display of Shakespeare's First Folios in
their collection giving the public a chance to have a real
"up close and personal" moment with these beautiful volumes.
What a day! A few quiet spells over the 7 hours, far fewer
than expected, but given that it is Thursday, a couple of
days before the 100th Anniversary of the landing of the
ANZAACs at Gallipoli and following huge storms - we have
been delighted with the attendance, interest and support for
antiquarian books and for UNESCO's literacy work in South
Sudan.'
[This is the
first report received - readers in the USA may know that pop
up fairs are taking place today so if you are near one, do
find time to visit. Ed.]
For up to the minute reports
of Pop Up Book Fairs in Europe and elsewhere
see ILAB's
blog. It has been a huge success and events
continue throughout the rest of today around the world. Pop
up book fairs can be found in New York, New Castle,
Washington, Chicago, Seattle, and Portland.
For more information
[Our special thanks to Dr.
Barbara van Benthem, ILAB's Web Editor in Tutzing, Germany,
who has created the many press releases received here and
co-ordinated the gathering of information and photos from
all corners of the world. I'm sure it was no easy task. Ed.]
Canada: AbeBooks fills 'Empty Bookcases' for South
Sudan!
A generous donation
started the ILAB Pop Up Book Fair week! Even before the ILAB
Pop Up Book Fairs appear across the world on UNESCO World
Book and Copyright Day 2015, Richard Davies of AbeBooks
announced that AbeBooks would make the generous donation of
US$ 2000 towards ILAB's project to help fund UNESCO's vital
literacy work in South Sudan.
South Sudan, the world's
newest state, is a troubled place indeed. Literacy is a way
through some of the problems that beset the children in
South Sudan and thanks to AbeBooks' generous gift, 190 sets
of children's 'Bouba and Zaza' books especially written and
published for African children will be put into South
Sudanese schools.

UK: A reminder for dealers
faced with e-book enthusiasts!
The Daily Mail this week gave out a warning that we have
broadcast before. 'Escaping from the hectic world to curl up
with a good book is one of life’s simple pleasures.' But
thanks to the popularity of e-readers, it seems that when
you settle down to enjoy a novel you’re no longer alone. The
digital devices not only track which books you read, but can
monitor the passages you dwell on and the time you put your
book down at night to go to sleep.

[For dealers faced with e-book
enthusiasts this is always good to impart. Ed.]
USA / Germany: No,
it's not April 1st! - Amazon deliveries coming to car trunks
The e-commerce firm is set to bring
its well-known brown delivery boxes to the trunks of
customers' cars -- but only in a German test program. In
case receiving your purchases at your doorstep within an
hour isn't convenient enough, Amazon now has a new answer:
deliveries to the trunk of your car. The Seattle e-commerce
giant said it starts with a small test program
in Germany -- along with German delivery company DHL and
German automaker Audi -- to provide shipments to car trunks.
The test starts next month.
Read more
[This is how it works: During the checkout process,
customers simply indicate the approximate location of their
car during the delivery window. When a carrier driver
arrives, the vehicle's car boot / trunk can be momentarily
accessed via a unique, order specific digital authorisation.
The delivery agent then simply places the order into the car
boot / trunk and closes the hatch which locks the car again.

USA: Copyright infringers
fined $37.5m
A global
piracy ring has been found guilty in a US federal court of
intentionally infringing copyright, sharing copies of books
from up to 16,000 international publishers. The maximum
damages allowed under US law - $37.5m – were awarded.
The
case of Elsevier Inc v Victor Kozlov and Pavel Kazutsin,
which was brought to court as a joint action by the global
publishing industry, concerned the defendants' websites
Avaxhome and Avaxsearch, which illegally provided access to
digital copies of millions of books, as well films, music,
games and other copyrighted content.

Thailand: Thai
bookseller given jail term
A Thai man was sentenced Wednesday to two years in jail for
selling books that allegedly defamed the monarchy, the
latest in a string of convictions under a notorious lese majeste law.
The Court of Appeals overturned a 2014 court decision which
had cleared Udomsak Wattanaworachaiwathin of any wrongdoing
in a case that stretches back nine years.

International: Children's
print book sales buck the trend
At our Nielsen Children’s Summit in New York in December, we
talked about how children’s print book sales around the
world in the last couple of years have been nothing short of
fantastic. Total print sales in the US rose 2%, but
children’s was the key driver, with 13% growth. In the U.K.
total print sales fell by 2% – children’s grew by 8%. In
China (where children’s sales are a smaller proportion of
the total than in the West) total unit sales were up 3%, but
children’s units grew by 10%. With the exception of India,
this same pattern of children’s print sales growth
outstripping total market performance was apparent in the
seven other international markets we monitor through Nielsen
BookScan. In the last six months of 2014 in Brazil,
children’s books were 28% ahead of the second half of 2013!

Israel: New Israeli law
mandates price controls for books, here's what happened to
sales after just one year
A new Israeli law controlling the price of books and
mandating guaranteed minimum compensation for writers has
had the complete opposite effect of what lawmakers had
intended, with book sales now in a free fall just one year
after the law went into effect. It’s called 'The Law for
Protecting Literature and Books,' but the impact on the
industry has been so devastating that the head of a
prominent book publisher has taken to calling the new
mandate, 'The Law for Hurting Literature and Books.' The way
things used to work in Israel was that the two main
booksellers – Steimetzky and Tzomet Sfarim – would offer
massive discounts on books, often selling new titles at two
for the price of one or even four books for 100 Israeli
shekels, or about $25.

UK: Just one in
ten authors can earn full-time living from writing, report
finds
To many, it is the
dream job: nobly toiling to create a fine work of literature
or agenda-setting academia. The reality of being a writer
has been laid bare in a new report highlighting the low
earning many endure for their art.
A study,
conducted by Queen Mary, University of London, showed just
one in ten authors can afford to earn a living from writing
alone, a drop from 40 per cent just a decade ago. A typical
professional writer, it found, earned just £11,000 annually;
less than the minimum wage. In real terms, the average
earnings of authors is down eight per cent since 2005,
according to the report commissioned by the Authors’
Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS).

USA:
Odyssey Bookstore owner ready to turn the page
Good things are like good books:
they tend to last. Just ask Bernard Wolf, the owner of
Odyssey Bookstore. His luckiest business break came as a
result of a fire. The year was 1995. His store was occupying
the bottom floor of a brownstone at Sherbrooke and Bleury
Sts. that once housed the Montreal Kravitz family of Ben’s
restaurant fame. Unbeknownst to Wolf, the store’s ceiling
had been tinned by the Kravitzes to stop a ground floor fire
from spreading upward.

UK: Never-before-seen
pictures of Captain Scott's doomed expedition on their way
to the South Pole sell for £36,000
Haunting never-before-seen
images showing Captain Scott's doomed expedition team
setting off on their ill-fated trek to the South Pole have
sold for a staggering £30,000. The archive of 52 celluloid
negatives show the great British adventurer and his men
heading off in the snow-covered wilderness during the
ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition of 1912. Some of the
pictures show the herd of ponies the team used to haul the
equipment-laden sledges on the 800 mile trek that would end
with the deaths of Scott and the polar party of Edward
Wilson, Lawrence Oates, Edger Evans and Henry Bowers. (They
were sold by Henry Aldridge and Son Auctioneers of Devizes,
Wiltshire, to an unnamed buyer.)

Wales:
Welsh Antiquarian Book Fair, Saturday 9 May
The next Welsh Antiquarian Book Fair
takes place on Saturday 9 May at Morlan Centre which is
within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of this busy
University town and it runs from 10.00am to 4.00pm.
Admission is a pound and tea/coffee is included. This annual
book fair usually attracts around 12 - 15 exhibitors. They
will have antiquarian maps, postcards and printed ephemera
on sale. The main focus is on items of Welsh, Celtic and
Arthurian interest in both Welsh and English. You will find
valuable private press books as well as plenty of
inexpensive items. I should add that there are always books
that are of a more general interest.
If you walk
for a couple more minutes you will be on the beach. A fine
distraction if you've had enough of the books! Abersytwyth
is also the home of the National Library of Wales. It is
well worth a visit and there are always interesting
exhibitions to be seen as well as a shop and restaurant.

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.

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

a PDF and attach it to a display panel to go out to
collectors and dealers via Sheppard's

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
