Bookstores that Create Books and Culture

Bookstores that Create Books and Culture Places matured by books, for books, and with books   2021.03.08     Publishers and bookstores might be different in that publishers “make books” while bookstores “sell books,” but the common attribute of the two is that they give joy and helpful knowledge to people through books. This is the medium that connects publishers and bookstores, while it is a gift for readers. Meanwhile, the solidarity between independent publications and bookstores is notably stronger than any other. They contribute greatly to the spread of the cultural trend that respects individuals’ preferences, and unique characteristics as independent publications set the stage for their stories to be heard, and independent bookstores mature with their own unique color.As such, as the two pursue a common goal, more bookstores are carrying out publishing at the same time. Some of them publish books or magazines that embody the bookstore’s unique color. Some o...

Bestseller Keyword - Money

Bestseller Keyword - Money In 2020, Readers Chased After the Flow of Money   2021.02.08       The Asian Financial Crisis that broke out in 1997 may have sparked the recent publishing trend of “money” and “wealth” in Korea. At this time when all the conventional wisdom of getting a good job, earning money, and pursuing a stable life without debts has broken, books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad (Minumin) that suggest a new perspective that debt can also be an asset claiming that people need to study about money, and Who Moved My Cheese? (Jinmyoung) that gives a lesson that only those that have overcome fear and adapted to changes can go through challenges, caught readers’ attention. Then, the “get rich fever” in 2002, best represented by the commercial copy - “Hope you become rich!” - of a credit card company, strongly struck the publishing market. Readers, who became anxious due to restructuring in their company, early retirement, and the burden of inflation-dr...

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea   2021.02.08       It is not an exaggeration to say that most language books developed in Korea are focused on English education and that most of the exported books are English books for children and elementary schoolers. Language books made in Korea consist of multiple series and are categorized into different age groups and levels, not to mention the content and services provided alongside them. However, no matter how good the books are organized in the demanded style of overseas buyers and consumers, it is difficult for them to end up signing a sales contract.Yet, there are still many cases where language materials made in Korea are exported to other countries. It is thanks to several distinct characteristics they have that they have such strong competitiveness. In the 1980s, there were not many language books solely made by Korean publishers, and in most cases, they imported or processed those of famous overseas...
