A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis and Care for What Ails Korean Society Today

One-Liner Quotes   A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis andCare for What Ails Korean Society Today Healthy Bookstore Manager’s Pick   2024.07.01   Kim Min-Jung is the manager of “11ho1,” a “healthy bookstore” where you can discover and exchange thoughts about health in everyday life.   “I see the limitations of modern medicine almost every day as a physician. No matter how advanced medical science gets, it will never be omnipotent.” This is the story of an 80-year-old practicing physician I met in a bookstore a few years ago.

As such, book fairs are very important for planning the year ahead. Aligning your publication schedule with these annual events gives you a clear guideline for managing the manuscript editing, designing interior layout and cover, and printing timelines.Over the past 8 years of running a small publishing house and bookstore, I have attended a number of book fairs. As I mentioned earlier, these events usually occur in a certain cycle. Meeting the authors that you have been seeing at a similar time and space every year is...
