Some recent quotes:<\/p>\n
Crain’s New York Business<\/a> : Once seen as a dying business, city bookstores are gaining ground<\/p>\n \u201cIf they have been buying under one account, then the different locations would be treated as one entity and not be able to be peeled off by location,\u201d said Jack Perry, an industry consultant and former sales executive.<\/em><\/p>\n Capital New York<\/a> : News Corp. All Set With Watchman<\/p>\n “”It’s gonna have a tremendous effect,” said Jack Perry, founder of the publishing advisory firm 38enso Consulting. He predicts first-year sales of 1.5 million, backlist sales of half a million annually and a 20- to 25-percent bump for\u00a0Mockingbird\u00a0to boot. “I think they’ve got something they can count on for a long time.”<\/em><\/p>\n =======<\/p>\n The New York Times<\/a> : \u00a0Holiday Sales Slide 60% at Barnes & Noble Nook Unit, Pointing to Tests for Chief<\/p>\n “Jack W. Perry, a publishing consultant, said that Barnes & Noble\u2019s position had become precarious. \u201cThey need to get their act together now,\u201d he said. \u201cThey need to do something now before the Nook is no longer viable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ========<\/p>\n Bloomberg Businessweek<\/a> : The Many Faces of Steve Jobs: The Paperback Comes Out With a Younger Image<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a way to reinvent the book for a younger audience,\u201d says Jack Perry, a publishing industry consultant. Hardback books are aimed at businesspeople, who can afford them, he says; college students, if they still buy books, tend to buy paperbacks. \u201cAnd some people may actually buy the book again just because it has a new cover.”<\/em><\/p>\n ========<\/p>\n Bloomberg Businessweek<\/a> : The End: Barnes & Noble in Silicon Valley<\/p>\n \u201cThe company became kind of schizophrenic,\u201d says Jack Perry, who runs the publishing consulting firm 38Enso and who has been watching the bookseller closely. \u201cThe people in New York didn\u2019t know what was going on in Silicon Valley, and the people in Silicon Valley didn\u2019t care what was going on in New York.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ========<\/p>\n The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0: Fork in the Road for a Bookseller<\/p>\n The Indianapolis Star:<\/a>\u00a0SerVaas Family Wants a Dramatic Turnaround for The Saturday Evening Post<\/p>\n “The magazine’s would-be turnaround comes at a hard time for print magazines. “You look at some of them, and they’re having difficulties,” said media consultant Jack W. Perry. “I’m thinking of Newsweek and Time. But with The Saturday Evening Post being more feature driven, it’ll have a longer shelf life, which could certainly help it.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The New York Times\u00a0<\/a>:\u00a0Perseus new eBook distribution for authors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I have moderated and participated on panels at national industry shows: NYU Summer Publishing Institute 2016 — “Publishing is Everywhere … Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1240"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1240"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1240\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2298,"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1240\/revisions\/2298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/38enso.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n“As ebook advocate Jack W Perry has commented:\u00a0\u2018I believe 99 cent eBooks are definitely a smart way to go for many publishers (and individuals). I understand the reasons traditional publishers want to hold onto a $14.99 eBook price. But that is old-school thinking and out of step with the realities of today\u2019.”<\/em><\/div>\n
