Topic The Comeback of Best-selling Books is Thanks to Youtube 2022.03.07 “Try this.”It’s not some random street vendor tempting tourists to try Dalgona using Squid Game’s popularity. Winter Bookstore, one of the most popular BookTubers (Book + Youtuber) with 230K subscribers, posted a video introducing a book. Her influence is truly colossal.The book she introduced was Why Fish Don’t Exist, a non-fiction book written by US science journalist Lulu Miller. Let’s go back to the starting point to see how it became popular. The book was published on December 17, 2021, and it did not gain much popularity in Korea at first. Lulu Miller was a new science journalist and a writer just introduced to Korean readers. Though the book contains excellent writing and exciting stories, the one-person publisher, Gom Books, did not have the marketing power to make the book popular. Why Fish Don’t Exist was reviewed in major newspapers several times, but the public did n...
