Bookstore Sales Fell 16.6% in January

Bookstore sales were $797 million in January, down from $956 million a year ago. The 16.6% decline was only a slight increase over the December drop, and was another indication that bookstore sales declines may be levelling off.

Podium Audio Hit New Milestones in 2020

Podium Audio Hit New Milestones in 2020

The surge in digital audiobook sales has helped numerous publishers grow in the past few years, and perhaps none has benefitted more than Podium Audio. The audio-first publisher, which began life as Podium Publishing before changing its name about a year ago, hit $50 million in revenue in 2020, and its total title output passed the 2,000 mark, from 1,300 at the beginning of the year, CEO Scott Dickey told
PW.
Podium is best known for its large list of science fiction titles, but Dickey said romance sales “grew dramatically” in 2020. Mysteries and thrillers also saw good gains, as did nonfiction.

Bookselling Spotlight: Cavalier House Books

By Ed Nawotka

Mar 12, 2021
Cavalier House Books, a new and used general trade bookstore in Denham Springs, La., opened in 2009, but its roots go back to 2005, when John Cavalier and his future wife Michelle Cavalier started supplying local elementary, middle, and high schools with required-reading titles while they were still students at Southeastern Louisiana University. At first, they filled their pickup truck with orders off of 18-wheelers on the highway because they were not allowed to deliver to residential homes, and they shipped books out of a 12-sq.-ft. shed in the backyard of John’s parent’s house in Denham Springs, a bedroom community across the river from Baton Rouge. “When things got busy, we would have palettes of books in the living room,” John said.

A Mighty Blaze Continues to Build

A Mighty Blaze Continues to Build
Year-old social media initiative promotes authors
By Claire Kirch

Mar 11, 2021
A year ago this week as bookstores began closing their doors to in-person traffic and publishers started canceling author events, A Mighty Blaze was lit on social media. Its purpose, co-founders Caroline Leavitt and Jenna Blum told
PW last March, was to connect readers with the authors of new adult releases by traditional publishers whose tours had been canceled due to the pandemic.
“We’re two technophobe female novelists in yoga pants trying to save authors from canceled tours and indie bookstores from being shuttered and we’re doing it every Tuesday,” they said.

Moe's Booksellers Unionize

Moe's Booksellers Unionize
Mar 11, 2021
A growing unionization movement is afoot among booksellers and publishing workers across the country. On Wednesday, employees at Moe’s Books joined their ranks, announcing that they have formed a union and joined the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Twenty of the Berkeley, Calif.-based bookstore’s 21 employees have signed on. The union was immediately recognized by store owner Doris Moskowitz.
Moe Moskowitz opened the store in 1959. It has long been helmed by veteran booksellers, some of whom have worked there for four decades. But during the pandemic, bookseller Noah Ross said some booksellers departed, and newer employees were hired. When employees proposed ideas for how the store should reopen to foot traffic, Ross said their requests were not heeded by management.

Are Digital Books Effective for For Children's Story Comprehension?

Are Digital Books Effective for For Childrens Story Comprehension?
by Anjanee Sharma on
March 10, 2021 at 6:21 PM
Meta-analytic study finds that children (aged 1 to 8) were less likely to understand picture books when they read them digitally compared to printed books. However, if the digital picture books have enhancements that reinforce the story content, they perform better than print books.
The research team consisted of Natalia Kucirkova, May Irene Furenes, and Adriana G. The team analyzed data on 1,812 children aged 1 and 8 from 39 studies.
Children's story comprehension and vocabulary learning when they read a book on paper versus on-screen were compared. The effects of story-related enhancements in digital books, the presence of a dictionary, and the role of adult support were also measured.
