the situation in the bookseller - a funeral and a birth announcement

..

In this blog, the last article you read today, we have fought many battle. In retrospect, I'm on the form and content is not very happy.

Some actions have been useful, also had fun, as if it has the unspeakable mess and the clumsiness of some books collected data banks walked or when I had to complain about in my estimation as imaginary as uninspired actors ("I work with books"), on criminal missed opportunities, such as the fleet of the baptism of upscale, but now almost starved child of RFMeyerschen "supply-Alliance ", over the years, again in my estimation, at an almost magical atmosphere unlucky Related Prolibri database project, about blatant impossibilities in the industry such as the hide and get rid of the auction results with the blessing of a here not specified shall professional association.

There were also abound borderline cases where it would have have been a better, shorter to connect. This is particularly true of those strange ancient Judaica review Björn beast, the latter had even dug up and both parties were reasonably supposed to have passed over in silence. Other issues are still relevant and tick as fire-dangerous time bombs in the rubble that is the case for the Amazon Abebooks-future scenario, based on Germany, also for special topics such as legislation on juvenile pornography, with their consistent application still every other bookseller to days of searching open stands, or you'll forgive the simplicity of the consideration for the safety of future abolition of the book shipment postage. Before

I will file in the title promised birth announcement, I take the opportunity to an overview of the current situation of the antiquarian book trade in my view.

I think it was Mr Hohmann in Stuttgart, by the way a basic intelligent antiquary, who hides his lyrics but unfortunately, rather than published, the report clearly from booksellers who can not pay their health insurance. We have in all forums Mrs Rathjen of service that anyone can read, provides insights into a "ruthless world of the antiquarian book trade. There are representatives of our industry, the advance of recipes out of mothballs in business, see the fellow wine writer, to whom it right become silent. Business considerations are useful in the "used book", the most recent and most recent date and may be related to the stockings or drugs described and delivered. They have not proven otherwise in the bookseller.

Even more disappoint us theorists, from whose ranks have recently been expressed colleague Helmer Pardo added, it comes as I shake knowledgeable of the major-sociology, and so I can sort only the head and ask the theorizing in the style of his " participatory Antiquarian refrain, "My dear. They are wrong track, not only because no one who is not a sociologist to understand him at all can.

The real obstacle to progress in our industry is now open to light than it was several years ago: "Les extrèmes touchent se," the internal contradictions are dramatically large.

The small box slide, which touchingly tried housewife (not only) can be determined from the wild east of our Republic to easily "rubbed hardcover, of authors" in ZVAB reference to the unspeakable keywords as compared to the saturated, well-organized section examined colleague of the upper middle field . As a rule, intelligent, knowledgeable people with decent tax return, with his wife and child and several association memberships, well-stocked warehouse and hard-won Customer file. In that then the Olympus 40-50 top booksellers, which remain among them, and talk to the people of the ordinary booksellers only when necessary contacts.

What I list them here, anecdotally, has in fact disastrous consequences for the overall situation of the antique book - now more than ever before.

Almost all the work and future questions in different ways is for the three layers in the bookseller:

- slab slide, used book suppliers, mainly for the supply of such customers who buy the book from the property on her or as a substitute for (too) expensive Neutitel,

- All-booksellers, whether by charging and / or shipping, work the whole spectrum, thematically, the book value here, in terms of distribution channels, customers of precious collector supply to book cheap student

- Top booksellers, the vast majority of superior discipline and general collectors as clients.

This is obvious, everyone can come up with examples, and of course there are many intermediate forms and combinations. But what remains to be seen yet, the amazing diversity of interests when it comes to important discussions.

How do we bring together such different people interested for the purposes of the act for "their interests" when discussing a trade fair in Dubai questions or Zurich, the other sales of well-preserved Scientific works of the book on Amazon or company Booklooker, to 5 € to 4.99 € or would you prefer?

Locker vom Hocker put down - the phrase comes from the old librarian-standing chair and fits here - can be said that

- the top bookseller to their exquisite specialists and general collectors extend a very limited clientele. For they play economic questions involved: What is in fashion, how much free money, the customers it will make assets that are libraries and archives back to acquisitions budgets for expensive titles, such as the U.S. dollar, and the like questions more in the bottom field not at all interested in the central region rather little.

- the lower bookseller occupied with his worries us a classic antique shops very unusual field of pure mail order. Warehousing, purchasing, sales and profit margins have there very sober, be discussed very hard.

- the average bookseller, one is tempted to say, the "normal" bookseller, has a strange hold Spagatstellung. It has to take care both to the subject area of the tip booksellers and edit the lowlands of the lower shipping business with. to make

Who always tries so far, an action for "the booksellers" in the legs is more or less failed miserably. This is a closer look also for the - in itself so laudable - training trials of the Association, ridiculous of the "Chamber test" of our industry to speak. I also guessed wrong some criticism of the new concept of the exchange as a background paper had the idea that there must be a discussion of Frankfurt, news and educational forum for giving " the booksellers."

I also see in the now but really annoying and embarrassing fate of RFMeyerschen "site network" as the cause of the limitation on far too narrowly defined types specific to certain bookshops. That the cooperative got nowhere branch, is similarly well founded - that entry barriers had been set much too high, not only financially. And in the foreclosure of the association with respect to the small and medium-sized counterparts is a good measure, I believe, deliberate secrecy and alienation. Unlike some of the ILAB scandal is not explained.

At this point the considerations I may now turn to the promised birth announcement.

Formally this is necessary to find a lowest common denominator that can be useful, important and useful for all levels of our business.

We know that is deplorable in the lower and middle field, a dramatic sales weakness for a number of years. We are sitting on millions of titles apparently permanently unsaleable are. I am not talking about "Boehn, the dance," or "Ludwig, Goethe and other horrors, but by counting the millions from the ordinary mountain, not too often, in the middle frame is priced reasonably and sensibly described books.

Today, we can assume that the standard of suspicion booksellers, poor design and dissemination of books sales data banks is to blame for our not-worn mountains of books, no longer plays a major role. The customer who wants to find a title over the net, has very simple and quick-access information and purchase products. And that would rectify this, but central is the database question no more. Three or four years saw the still different.

We also need not necessarily better title shots, even photos / scans are from the time her little predictable and average product of limited usefulness. These are all pretty little things to calm and employment of the booksellers - - but no solutions.

core thesis: We must
general collecting old books on a wide scale, give great propaganda effort again popular, especially among younger people . Altbuchsammeln must either be a fashion movement "in", on the other hand we need a more thorough and deeper motivation scale the awakening of a people to "love" to the old book.

would like both I do not want to separate from each other. We must, to the repeating said above, do not be too good to encourage also "Trends" to a fashionable collection of old books same time but we have very serious reasons and motives D ear to give to the old book .

Here, we can (almost) no bonds make in the overall business management. Also help us to sociological rules any further, let alone lead us in times of perplexity always so fond aunt tried "statistics" as to the right path. We need an I magewerbun g, which emphasizes the positive, desirable aspects of Altbuch-collecting. This will usually be old, even ancient motifs that we have to transfer to the modern age in the present:

W hat please enjoy because of the collector, who goes out at night to the shelf and looked at his series of old books? That, sir, whispering some bloggers in this regard can be here for one good use - "shiver" of the collector with really specific titles if he keeps the incunabula in the hand when the island bands, the long-sought place? We will pick up ideas from her and about stamp collecting "in the name of the Rose" for ideas advanced Altbuchliebe discover.

It is, therefore, is Altbuchsammeln

* in all its values and subject groups, based on

all educational, professional groups,

* record and something to do about the

* living culture, the

* collecting, for

* free time.

This new bundle B ü Altbuch collecting images, we should now discuss and design.

If the birth announcement - to sales in the bookseller will be boosted by a new I mage of Altbuchsammelns . This can also be an image bundle, but must always (Also) carry a certain message.

Where Do I Get Games For My Sidekick Lx?

The new börsenblatt.net - disappointing (Part 2)

A.

Permit me to illustrate my first yes formal criticism to börsenblatt.net (see previous post) here to introduce two more sites - each in their different ways - have to fulfill similar tasks as börsenblatt.net. At the organizational level they are spaced far outpost, once a modern, up-to-date New York Times, on the other hand, the current home page the FBI.
I think both, each in its own way, for almost perfect. This applies to all aspects of color, font, graphics, through to tactics and technique of calling the reports.

seems particularly valuable to me the NYT about their skilful than bearable for the reader use advertising.

I have the figures are respectively arranged in three stages - first the control or main page, then sub-homepages, and finally the image of the individual report.

this, I now say no more - I invite you to look at the first two such different sides at rest and then engage in closer color, graphics etc.



B. That there be such a devastating overall grade came, like dazzle at first. I have indicated, it was primarily substantive, not (only) formal defects that devalue new börsenblatt.net.

What duties, exercise the power of the Exchange service sheet?

First, we must not forget that he is the figurehead and voice of a venerable institution, behind not only - Publishers sector is especially well - are enormous revenues, but will be represented in a high cultural claims. The form must reflect this representation requirement, although it here of course not the actual homepage of the Association.

This object is börsenblatt.net of new at all and not entirely redeemed, the new page looks "cheap" and arbitrary.

then has to report the financial newspaper network service updates and to inform. The reporting requirement is met (though by its very nature really updates in a deeper sense rarely occurs) - with the proviso that the lack of clarity, the confusing and annoying for the user painstaking review of the material and disabled.

Not at all redeemed, however, the most important obligation

for the entire industry a valuable reference, reference, thought and recipe manual to be .

missing Especially the integration of a lively, moderated dialogue, primarily on technical issues. This dialogue must be technically be closely related to the current report and the archival-lexical Subject funds, which should offer börsenblatt.net - actually ...

It is also not for 5 cents an attempt was made to take on the tastes from-external "modernization" of the website also a substantive reorganization.

is the entire modern, professional information and documentation practice was sleepy. was not analyzed in advance, thought not right - still is a cleverly networked information, reporting, discussion and Nachschlagemedium not in sight.

This is disappointing. Therefore, the devaluation.

The redesign of the cubicle börsenverein.net



..

This post is the personal opinion of the author. A Web page that is published, the reader expects of itself may and should be judged by their sacrifice, the reader.




A.
Nota: The starting point here was the situation after the call to the Messages tab

...



first So far
bored us the financial newspaper's website as a dry, perhaps too familiar, concise information resources. The old aunt was börsenblatt.net Although pimped over time, there was word-clouds that are surprising, however mediated and stupid information about the links between statistics and meaning in the work area of the book trade, all sorts of strange attempt has been made about the proud presentation more well-intentioned as a mature student works in a prominent position as a kind of abortive Wiki, an almost never-used dialog system hoped to develop into one day on Dialogue Forum, in color and gesture most embarrassing zurechtgemotzte photos there were, positively and triumphantly smiling, optimistic and manipulative portraits - but the whole thing was clear, serious, clever and with some exceptions formulated in a deeper sense of decency - in short, a sensible, not just mediocre, in its way quite endearing about page.

I have visited every day and had hardly ever regret this.

cherished in such places would not be like to know changed. If a site is old accustomed but then rebuilt from the ground up, we look closely to try out the new chairs and check the coffee from the new machine wisely.

second
börsenblatt.net is the new, measured-quiet revisionist desires of the reader, a disaster.

could use this ruling leave it at that. It may be worthwhile, however, unravel a few reasons. To work.

in mind we are happy with 19 (nineteen) fat and prominently printed tabs to come, we are still in the page header, 9 graphically somewhat withdrawn register additional tabs. Before we read the get the first article, our eyes tormented by 28 clickable to select areas.

than a third of the total site area on the first call of the (always yes but first clicked) tab "News" is given away by titles and Registertaben, trashed, wasted.

You can use the method of "marking" work, set down so short appetizers the content of messages once in a short form, and be confident that the reader those contributions that interest him personally, click to read on and call is. Who is willing to take a minute to be an editor, content, or content of the article to get across in short - who also appears to have spent too much effort to do that painful process to bring just the beginning of the text mechanically, garnished with the ominous three dots and the words "to read more click here. Here is a milder form of such cruelty applied - stubborn is in fact any paper summarizes progress made, curiously clumsy, as in the German paper with the notion of "Every student should at the beginning of his essay summarized in two sentences the content Only then can begin the review. ".

This can make it that way, if indeed must be. But with the oversized red headings such is clear, albeit boring and stubborn approach undermined. The advantage of such "teaser" is still the possibility of a * fast * his first information, an overview! But if I completely absurd application of typography and graphic accounts only for 2 (two) articles on the first screen of the reader knock, then I run my system ad absurdum.

is anything at all graphically in the bucket. Of course I can with bright white or slightly graying, very light background work, the old site has been good to see. Then I must oppose this rather intrusive brightness but relatively compress typography, it is not everything appear bright. The basic laws our eyes have been violated grossly by the new website - it's also because of the many bright open spaces,

anything strange flighty, verflatternd, approximately advised

as single white flag, the caption faded long ago, we see intrusive red-header parts and a disjointed body of pale, more precisely - fragments, text stub. All

always under the prominent and intrusive structure of the 28 tabs.

can be visually quite unsatisfactory in such situations to a last resort funds and taut lines and box design support in the run-down, ailing structure move. This process has been led here by plug ugly blemish ad absurdum: Solid lines alternate with those dreaded dotted lines that seem almost identical pattern always irritating, what can be observed in some books databases very beautiful.

The basic outline on a wider left and a narrower right column acts strangely discordant, no talk of golden section. The two columns are too close together to set hard, strange, almost manic arranged underlaps gray (of course in the morgues-violet light gray) exacerbate the visual chaos. Here, the children were let off steam in the pre-garden - or how should the reader the Change from red and black headlines in the two columns interpreted differently?

"Service" and "Navigation Summary" at the foot of the page will then only be embarrassing - and indexed worst shoemaking, rotten beneath contempt.

We already know what the misfortune worm was intended in the design. By a "mixed bag" of contributions to the advertising-friendly page design, the reader should feel as a colorful patchwork of the page in which he likes staying. In this page, but he keeps on not, he flees.

third
This should be followed by a content analysis of the new website, we now know so the many Work areas of the Association very well and know from years of reading, what are types of information and expect contributions on any subject to how often. In terms of the weighting of the practical work of booksellers, publishers, booksellers, etc. are the worst flaws of the new approach to looking at the content side, in the factual arrangement, the thematic nature, short of the SPC.

title to all, measured the new page design. The specialized reader wants those honest, straightforward information that was offered to him formally and thematically, the old website.

is My overall rating: tastes from formal, graphically an imposition, journalistic strangely childish and clumsy, confusing. Thematically, and in the factual outline, based on the use by professionals, a single blunder.


B.

In the illustration, when reading reports of individual, if the reader has arrived at the destination so to speak, catch the eye, the following points:

a)
Although a moderate form of several since the Euro book most hated sins "arterial blood red" is used, it still remains an intrusive warning color which appears in this way is totally inadequate. The headings are red, as it now once a bookseller area is the case of a rule rather boring, rather boring, factual issues that bear everything except the "appreciation" by blood-red headlines.

b)
The all too ample line spacing can scroll the user what this loves tend not to, but above all have the mouse wheel for specialized texts are ready, well and happy in a look that could be read on one page and should. Even more so, because most reports, it seems to have changed nothing, is too short, too short, too lacking in detail, see the page about the Swiss digitization. This topic is but for our daily work and (unfortunately) for the strategy of our industry highly important as a * principle * - from the subject can and must be learned a lot for the antiquarian.

c)
is really distressing here now, reading the retail report, the retained third reduction in the whole website. I'm standing right by the additional information - in themselves, they're quite useful - incorrectly. This must be solved quite differently. In its current form

* the eye loses while reading the article

to the right, consistent effort is required to Lesefluß the left of the article observed. Being right again, we have already said, the mania of the "free space" that knows too much to bother. If we had right such as a tight dark text (Of what we should keep God), the fault would be reading the text but left less annoying than just the right through the white fields.

d) The
Gleitwerbung above cheeky . I could not talk yet, because I use an ad blocker. What, please, should proceed in the poor reader who wants to read in refined moving and twitching advertising the contribution in kind? does any advertising at all, even the little box for Mr Reiss, the high white monochrome very annoying, pushy, rude. Of course it must be advertising in this situation but graphic metered rather soft.
