Super Thursday

Today is Super Thursday, a term coined by The Bookseller, the day publishers launch their latest books in a hope of capturing the lucrative Christmas market.

– Super Thursday: 225 books compete for the Christmas run-up
– Book retailers brace themselves for Super Thursday

Why today or what is special about today I do not know.

One such release is the latest cookbook from Jamie Oliver, but £30 for a cookbook? No one is going to pay £30 which is why it is £9-99 in Sainsbury’s. A raw deal for independent bookshops as this is less than the trade price they pay. Something Jamie Oliver should look into.

– Travel Bookshop to close

Or you can subscribe to Jamie Oliver’s magazine and get the cookbook for free.

Aleph by Paulo Coelho jumped the gun and came out on 1 September. A head start one woould think, except HarperCollinsUK forgot. Now it will be lost with all the other books.

– HarperCollinsUK you should be embarrassed!
