What do bookstores do with books that can t be sold?

There are generally two modes of book wholesale: underwriting and warehouse protection.

Underwriting is to give money to ship, no return or exchange, unsalable self-care, generally this kind of purchase ** will be slightly lower than the library **, of course, some publishing houses some books are very pit, the discount is very high. The words of the treasury protection are to agree on how much proportion of the period can be returned, and the whole treasury is how much is left to return less, which is not very much, and there is generally such a policy during the promotion period of the new magazine, most of which are proportional treasury protection.

The policies of publishing houses for bookstores and ** are also different.

Generally, the main channel (Xinhua bookstore system) is relatively strong, and the book is sold slowly, and it will be returned to the society during the settlement period, and everything will be refunded, in order to be able to settle the bill, the general society will accept it, if it is a book that does not sell well, the pressure will be slightly greater, but it will not be too bad, and the settlement may be more of a headache for the publisher than the return.

Second, channels and e-commerce, mainly proportional inventory or underwriting, the proportion of underwriting in e-commerce is larger (because the warehousing process of e-commerce is hugely complex, and the same return process is not simple), at the same time, e-commerce because of the relatively large purchase volume If the discount is underwritten, the discount will be lower, so we often find that the discount of e-commerce is lower than that of ordinary channels, and some of the ones that cannot be sold are all kinds of hard discounts, and even add x yuan to buy and so on, but there are also returns, and it is the return of the whole vehicle.

Some of the books were destroyed when they were returned, and I destroyed them and sold them to pulp mills for a kilogram of money. There are also some books that are returned or have not been sent out to be balanced, and will do a process, such as making a set, making a new box, and then sending it out as a new set of books. Set books are generally liked by e-commerce, and repacking and stuffing other things into the set e-commerce can be discounted in various ways after the price is raised.

There is also a part of the flow to the used book market around the country, with a very low ** shipment and then sorted by the used book market, sometimes we see some book market or online ** bookstore books are like this (I myself have seen a lot of such books), the quality depends on the character, there are new and out of print, there are serious wear and tear. <>

I just happened to listen to a few lectures on the publishing industry, so I threw a brick. The publishing house is miserable. In most cases, books that can't be sold in physical bookstores are returned to publishers.

Unsalable books will account for a large proportion of a publisher's assets, and even a very good publisher will inevitably do so. There are hundreds of millions of yards, but in fact, they are all waste paper, taking up space in vain. So unknown books, the first printing is getting fewer and fewer, and the first printing of n million copies is like a great honor.

There is a pit publishing house method. For a while, the bookstore took books from the publishing house at about 6% off, but they could sell them online at 5% off or even below, so the bookstore bought a batch of books from the publishing house, sold them, and then bought some from the Internet and returned them to the publishing house. In fact, most publishing houses deserve to go bankrupt a long time ago.

It's a pity that the publishers who really do good books will also be dragged down. <>

We will return to our bookstore when we sell out the teaching and workbooks.

11 yuan per catty is not cheap.

Packaged processing, 50 pieces to pick three copies.

Return to the publishing house, and the loss will be borne by the author.

The contract is re-signed and returned to the publisher.

A friend persuaded me to sell a book I didn't read, so why put it at home to take a place?

Whether or not to sell the book is a painful question. Logically speaking, books are commodities, of course, they can be sold, but logically speaking, books are not like food, we don't feel sorry to throw away expired food, books are not like clothes, and we can accept them if we are tired of donating or throwing them away, but the longer the book is left, the more I feel that it is better to keep it, and the more I read, the more reluctant I am to let go. That's the problem.

Why is our affection for books so special? I think there are three reasons.

First, books carry human emotions. Once in my hometown, I found that the Chinese textbook from elementary school was still in the corner, and the words written in the book at that time could vaguely see the origin of the pen now, which is not only where we grew up, but also what we used to be. Time is like lying in a book and sleeping for a long time, and 20 years have passed and it has not changed.

Second, the book entrusts the expectations of the people who hold the potato. When we bring a book home from all over the world, we must have pinned a lot of hopes on it, we count on changing ourselves after reading this book, counting on life to get better and better, it is the driving force when we move forward, it is the differentiation when we are confused, it is the mascot and amulator, it is history, it is the future, it is the cause, it is the result. It is ever-changing, but it is inseparable from "despair", so we always feel that where there are books, there is still hope.

Third, the book represents some kind of inheritance. The author condenses the ideas into words, and as long as they can still be used, we feel that the book is valuable, and compared with the infinite value and the limited monetary return, it is naturally not a cost-effective thing for everyone to sell their own book.

As a result, most families will have more and more books over time, and they will become more and more abundant. It's not a matter of wealth or deliberateness, it's something that you buy every time because of your own needs, and if you put the books you buy together in chronological order, when you read them all together, you'll find that this is the story of your growth.

Legal Analysis: Selling pirated books is illegal, and if the circumstances are serious, it is a crime of uproar.
