WATCH

POTOMAC
By ROBERT G. sPTVAcK

Washington. - CHEAPER THAN POTATOES - While
profits have scared for of corporations during
years World War H. the income of the American
book publishing industry remains remarkably low
investment of three cent considered better than normal
great many explanations have been offered for the failure

St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1959-04-17

Since every newspaperman, I
suppose, is either a frustrated
novelist or nonfiction writer I got
around to exploring the subject
of how books sell-and why? Also
my curiousity has been whetted
because I recently have become a
consulting editor for New York
publisher firm (Basic Books, Inc.)
and some years ago I was offered
a chance to become a publisher in
my own right.
A book-like any idea-is a
precious and delicate thing. The
author, while writing it, must be
handled carefully and cannot be
dealth with by brute force. The
nurturing of the book as it grows
from one little word to another Is
a slow process, requiring phen-
omenal patience. Finally when the
end result is there for the public
to see, the book remains on a book
sellers shelf and nobody bothers
to buy it.
Ultimately the book ends up at
some bargain sale. One super
market in Chicago, I understand,
is now offering a 24-volume en-
cyclopedia at 2'c per volume. An
other store in the midwest now
sells books at three pounds for
81" - and its advertising says
some books are cheaper than po-
tatoes.

days and that people don't want
to buy books that are going to
worry them too much. But do
deny that the nation is not bas-
ically more serious than it ever
has been before. If not so active,
it is better informed and bet
ter able to appraise events.
If people don't buy books, or
read very much, it may be be-
cause the book publishers them
selves have not made their pro-
ducts very attractive. AS an ex-
ample, one publisher printed
Gautiers Fleece of Gold" He
ended up barely selling 10000 cop
les. But he changed the title to
Quest of the Blond Mistress"
and Immediately sold 10000 copies.
Then there is the matter of
over-pricing. For years publishers
of various children's encycloped
las have been coming to our door
trying to sell their books, ranging
from 10 to 20 volumes per set. The
asking price went as high as $500
in one case and $500 in another
case. The former set was compar-
atively superficial, but it did
cover a lot of subjects. The $500
set was too adult for children of
pre-teen age.
Now a new publishing firm,
Golden Books, has put out a chill
dren's encyclopedia that sells for
about $3.50 per book, with the
whole set costing less than $35.
It's just as good as the $500 set,
although it does not cover as
many subjects. The firm, I I'M
derstand, already has thousands of
advance orders.
When you buy a book, you are
not buying a thing but a dream
whether it's your own idea of
what is in the authors mind, or
his. The man who buys the Quest
of the Blond Mistress" is thinking
of something pleasant and he is
curious to see what the writer
had in mind. But Fleece of Gold"
that just doesn't send you. A
bad title can ruin the sales of a
good book. I am now inclined
when I hear laments from book
publishers to suggest look in
ward, angel" and maybe they will
find the source of their troubles.

way. In a sense, of course, anyone
who goes into book publishing,
unless it is obscene literature, does
so as a public service. Or maybe
because he has some idea he wants
to promote. In any case a man
could get a better return on this
if he simply put his
money in a savings bank.
There have been many sugges-
tons as to the reason for the
failure of the American public to
buy good literature. All kinds of
pessimistic ideas about the de-
cline of our culture, the complac-
ency induced by prosperity, and
the weariness-with-it-all attitude
of many public officials are ad-
vanced as the reasons why books
don't sell. In a country of 10000
900 people a sale of 10000 books
by an author is regarded as ex-
traordinary.
