International: Who said that water and rare books don't mix?
It is interesting and exciting the
way the ILAB celebrations of UNESCO World Book and Copyright
Day on April 23 are shaping up. Around 30 ILAB events will
'pop up' across the world all within the same 24 hours; this
is amazing!
What a day of contrasts! Just in the
United States alone the differences between Pop Up Fair
locations are great! From Oak Knoll's old Opera House in New
Castle, Delaware, built with its high ceilings by masons in
1879, to the elegant skyscraper premises of the Cliff
Dwellers Club in Chicago, Illinois, where Frank Lloyd Wright
and Carl Sandburg might have had drinks, to a cool brew pub
a short walk from downtown Portland, Oregon, there is plenty
of diversity. Across the world the contrasts keep coming.

UK: Clean Reader removes all
titles - victory for authors (See SC 407)
'Chocolat' author Joanne Harris is claiming a 'small victory
for the world of dirt' after an app that blanked out the
profanities in books, replacing them with so-called clean
alternatives, removed all titles from its online catalogue
following a week of angry protests from writers.

USA: The strange, true
tale of the naked bookseller

Malaysia: Used
books still preferred by Malaysians
Used books still remain a preferred
choice for Malaysians to enrich knowledge despite the
variety of gadgets available in the market nowadays. A
Bernama survey came across ardent book collectors who choose
to maintain a 'manual' lifestyle because for them, old books
have very high sentimental value.

Europe:
Politician’s Books Came From Libraries Across Italy
The authorities pursuing a thread in
one of the biggest rare book heists in Italian history said
this week that some of the 20,000 books seized two years ago
from the private Milan library of Marcello Dell’Utri, a
former senator in prison for Mafia association, had been
removed from public libraries and religious institutions
across Italy. The Carabinieri police in Monza, outside
Milan, said in a statement that a preliminary investigation
had found among the books “the presence of works removed
from public and ecclesiastical libraries, in a manner and at
a time still unknown.” The books date from the 15th to the
19th centuries and are valued at several million dollars,
the police added.

UK: Winnie-the-Pooh made new:
who should write the next chapters?
Another sequel to AA Milne’s
children’s classic has been approved. 'Time to consider the
authors who should write it', says Alison Flood (of the
Guardian). 'We live deep in the Hundred Acre
Wood in our house these days. My daughter is finally old
enough to enjoy – to love, actually – AA Milne’s stories of
Winnie and Piglet and Owl. I, alongside other classics from
my own childhood such as Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf,
The BFG, Pippi Longstocking and My Naughty Little Sister, am
delighted to read them to her. (I love picture books, but
wow, these are much more fun.)

Wales: Doodles and poems
found in Black Book of Carmarthen
Ghostly faces and snatches of text have been found hiding in
one of Wales' oldest and most important books. The
750-year-old Black Book of Carmarthen is the first Welsh
text to include medieval figures such as King Arthur and
Merlin. But for hundreds of years never-before-seen poetry
and pictures have been hidden to the naked eye. Now, thanks
to high resolution photography and UV lighting, some of its
secrets have finally been revealed.

USA: The Ubiquitous Bookstore
Joseph Esposito writes: So a new bookstore is going to have
to bring its offerings to where people are rather than the
other way around; a new bookstore has to be ubiquitous . . .
Great business advice often comes from unlikely sources.
Generals always fight the last war. This maxim came to
mind recently as a series of proposals has been bruited
about concerning building online bookstores. The proposals,
most of which are in the whisper stage, come from different
quarters. 'How can we combat Amazon?' trade publishers ask.

USA: Little Free Libraries: 5

We see them everywhere. Little Free
Libraries that look like miniature barns, chalets,
birdhouses, British telephone booths and other fancifully
decorated structures. Inside are all kinds of books -- from
romances to car repair -- that people can take without
asking permission, checking out or purchasing. They are
expected to replace the book with one of their own. "Our
position is that we are a global asset," said Todd Bol,
creator of the organisation whose motto is, "Take a book,
return a book".

UK: Is Amazon facing another
fight?
The contract between
'Big Five' book publisher HarperCollins and Amazon is about
to expire, and HarperCollins is refusing to sign an
agreement with the new terms that Amazon is asking, a source
with knowledge of the situation tells Business Insider.

[Last
week, we reported that HarperCollins is using Twitter to
sell books. This move is either a way of bringing
pressure to bear on Amazon - or - HarperCollins may have
long terms plans to break away. Of the latter, then we
all ought to keep an eye on possible options for book
dealers. Ed]

UK: Bell Street Bookshop
For the foreseeable future, the Bell Street Bookshop is now closed as an open shop; a difficult decision after more
than twenty-five years. We intend to keep the shop and use it as a base for our film

All enquiries should be directed
our site in Chiswick - Fosters' Bookshop, which now also
houses our internet stock, and the office.

of this change, we have extended the hours in Chiswick.

Sunday from 11.00am to 5.00pm, except Easter and
Christmas. There is also a new email address covering

TRADE REMINDERS & BENEFITS
|
International: Sheppard's Trade Suppliers
This new service consists of a database that allows suppliers to appear under
headings that apply to their business. It is possible that some companies / traders might appear under more than
one heading.
To create a trade entry - select trade Suppliers from the menu on
Sheppard's Confidential. Complete the contact details and add
a few words to promote your business. You can also upload a photo to appear in your entry.
Your business / trading name will also appear in
Sheppard's Confidential - which will keep
your name in front of our many readers. This goes
every week except for the Christmas break.
The
list is also accessible via the Home Page on
www.sheppardsconfidential.com.
The cost of the service - as it is promoting your business
to collectors and dealers in 44 countries
- is just £12 per year.
Fair Organisers Promotion of Exhibitors' Top Titles
Fair organisers can now offer
additional
promotion of dealers' titles that they intend to bring to the
event. If a fair manager can obtain details of the top
three titles from their
exhibitors, paste them into the
template provided and send the result by-mail to us, we will convert it to
a PDF and attach it to a display panel to go out to
collectors and dealers via Sheppard's
Confidential.
The main benefit is that the list
will be brought to the notice of all our readers rather than
sitting on a website which is passive.
Most of our services are free but we are asking £10
for the insertion per fair -
whether it is inserted into one or more more editions of
Sheppard's Confidential.
For more
information, write to
TopTitles@sheppardsconfidential.com

A reminder about our e-mail service
Readers who also subscribe to search our database
(Sheppard's World or Find a Dealer) know that it is possible
to send an e-mail to selected dealers with 'offers' or
'books wanted'. When creating e-mails, the sender cannot
see the recipient's e-mail address so if the recipient does
not reply, the sender will never know their address.
Dealers - please update your entry
We ask
ALL dealers registered on Sheppard's World to visit their entry at
least once a year (See Para in our Conditions) to correct and make
any amendments to their entry which our paying subscribers expect to
be current.
If you think your entry might be incorrect,
please update it as soon as possible.
Special Announcement
To
receive any immediate news notices, we issue short notes as
and when appropriate via our RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
service that most news organisations provide. This service
is free.

Past editions
Past editions can be found on our website. We show the last
16 editions - all of which are in a PDF format. Earlier
ones are available but on request.
Please note that shortly, any past editions retained in the
original HTML format by our readers for reference will find
that the advertisements and images will disappear.
We recommend that you download a PDF version for permanent
retention.
Searching dealers' catalogues
We have a large number of dealers' catalogues on
www.sheppardsconfidential.com
and these can be searched using
Acrobat Reader. For anyone not used to searching
these catalogues - once the file has been opened on your PC,
there are two ways to search for a title. Either hold the
Control key down (Ctrl) and hit `F' and enter all or part of
the title, or click `Edit' then either `Find' or `Search'.
When you find the title you seek - please contact the
dealer direct - the information is usually at the start of
the file.
Access to Sheppard's Confidential
Please note that you should use the same Logon ID and
Password to access
www.sheppardsconfidential.com There are calendars of
fairs and auctions - and catalogues submitted by
dealers. These are in PDF form so that you can search for
titles within each catalogue.
Attention - organisers of Fairs,
Auctions and Festivals
If dates for next year's events are known - do create new
entries as soon as possible. Dealers and trade members who
organise
book fairs, auctions and festivals can create entries for
the events they are organising. Although any late changes
must still be sent in by e-mail, we have made a major
improvement.
The entry form used to create entries has been changed.
For those organisers of multiple fairs where the majority of
details remain the same for each month - the form now allows
you to save the first entry - and use the same entry with
amendments of date, or time etc. for the next entry. This
is designed to save you time in creating entries.
To create the entry, use the same LoginID (as for
Sheppard's World) and password but on the sister website
www.sheppardsconfidential.com
- preview existing entries (in case we have it already) then
select `Add New Entry'.
All entries will be checked before they appear live on the
calendar - so please allow some 48 hours for this. If your
event is already there, please e-mail any amendment to
editor@sheppardsworld.co.uk

Catalogues on Sheppard's Confidential
Catalogues sent in are uploaded to our website where they can be searched and
browsed. Placing them on one location makes it quicker for users to locate catalogues containing
the subjects of books in which they are interested. So we welcome catalogues from all members of
the trade.
For anyone not used to searching these catalogues - once the file has been opened on your PC, there
are two ways to search for a title. Either hold the Control key down (Ctrl) and hit `F', or click `Edit' then

months of last year, 43,400 people visited the summary
page of catalogues - that's over 3,600 a month. And over
5,540 downloads resulted of which 4,700 were PDF files.
One feature of our site is that visitors can search

Letters to the Editor

Drones - No way!
Dear Sir
There is NO WAY that Amazon are ever going to
use drones to deliver books or anything else. This is just a
publicity stunt. The whole concept is unworkable.
Will each drone have it's own 'pilot'? (Very economical) -
they certainly won't be controlled by a computer. How will
they deliver the books? Just leave them on the ground
outside your house - they certainly won't be able to put
them through the letter box. How will they avoid overhead
phone/electricity lines, what happens when they pass through
areas of 'no signal'? Batteries run out? Attacked or stolen?
Don't Amazon deliver 1000s of books a day - 1000s of drones,
I don't think so!
I cannot understand why the
media persists on running this story - it is just free
publicity for Amazon and is complete twaddle. Garth
O'Donnell, Bristol Books, Bristol.
