Did you know that novels are rated in the same way as houses or gold? You can also keep them safe from now on, provided you choose the right securities and then sell them at the appropriate time. Why this seems to be the editorial policy of some publishers. For example: An Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. A masterpiece of African American literature and elsewhere, unavailable for years, I had mentioned in my blog, you can check the article below.
This book was published in Italy by Einaudi in 1956 that he had printed more 'times to the 1993 paperback edition, which cost € 8.26.
For a long time we knew that this was a book you are searching, desired and very rare, and I took me almost four months to find a good hard copy and I wrote a post just because I did not understand why such a book had not seen many on the market seemed interested to read it and buy it. It appeared that the prayers had been answered readers dall'Einaudi a few days ago decided to republish this great novel. Only it did not do it at 10 € in paperback, but at 24 I was well in the luxury edition in paperback. Now I wonder, why? Why read books and have to be a luxury?
It is not the only publisher to do so, it seems like a common technique to fill the intellectual void that surrounds us, you reprint the authors valid but out of stock at prices from new, with a nice card and a beautiful and expensive cover instead of focusing on new writers / writers and leave the economy in the catalog, so that all or most can buy a book if they wish, without this affecting their budget too.
I think something outrageous, we were flabbergasted, printed by the joy of seeing him again I went to anger at such behavior, like selling water in the desert at exorbitant prices. What do you think?
