Because hedonic aspects of products are difficult to evaluate prior to consumption, consumers seek signals to reduce their uncertainty. Opinion leaders, such as critics, may serve as key informants to consumers. This study considers the different roles and incentives of literary critics and how they influence the success of books. Furthermore, it empirically investigates the impact of 4 book critics featured on Germany's most popular literary television show, Das Literarische Quartett, on reviewed books' success. The variety of control variables included in the mixed regression models provide results pertaining to not only the critics, but also the success factors of books in general. Book success does not depend primarily on the mere appearance of a book on a television show or a favorable review of it; rather, awareness and word-of-mouth effects seem crucial, and books are more likely to succeed if critics disagree about the quality and express extreme judgments, even if those judgments are negative. 相似文献

Kenneth C. Davis 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1995,11(4):9-32
Arguing that the First Amendment does not allow for the suppression of ideas, constitutional scholars and historians have
long been concerned about legal attempts to censor books in the United States. In this article Kenneth C. Davis explores the
complex relationship between pivotal court cases on censorship, congressional committees, various movements, and secular and
religious organizations in attempts to curtail the publication and distribution of certain types of books in this nation.
Davis's trenchant analyses enrich our understanding of censorship and the history of the book in the United States.

The story of the book in Southern history is the story of the perception of dangers associated with reading, of the problems
in establishing the communications system essential for making books available, of the differing meanings of books to different
groups in Southern culture. This article traces that story from the colonial era through the present, paying special attention
to friction between North and South, the role of religious orthodoxy, the dominance of oral culture, deficiencies in the library
system, and the rural nature of the region. It ends with a discussion of Southern writers and their role in the development
of a book culture.
Charles Reagan Wilson received his bachelor of arts (1970) and master of arts (1972) in history at the University of Texas
at El Paso and his doctorate in history at the University of Texas at Austin (1977). He has taught at the University of Mississippi,
where he is professor of History and Southern Studies, since 1981. He is the author ofBaptized in Blood: The Religion of the Lost Cause, 1865–1920 (1980) and coeditor of theEncyclopedia of Southern Culture (1989). 相似文献

ABSTRACT Rather than create a collection solely to support distance learners, libraries should consider the needs of all customers when developing a digital library. The acceptance of digital libraries is dependant upon the conversion of resources to an electronic format that is easy to use and is fully searchable. While electronic journals are widely accepted by most academic library customers, the delivery of online books has had a very different acceptance rate. Rather than support the sequential reading of books, electronic books are commonly used to find information and can be particularly well-suited for reference purposes. This article will provide insight into the history of e-book models and evaluate the usage statistics of a large electronic book collection in an academic library. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Underappreciated data concerning libraries' holdings and circulation over the past century and a half offer insights into the behavior of libraries and their users. Book circulation per public library user indicates an outcome of users' demand for books and libraries' supply of books. From 1856 to 1978, library users borrowed from U.S. public libraries about 15 books per user per year. From 1978 to 2004, about 25% of book circulation shifted to audio‐visual circulation. Over about a century and a half, library book circulation per user shows no strong, long‐run trend either up or down. This outcome suggests that libraries have adapted to maintain the stability of their operation and that library borrowing practices are well‐embedded in popular life. 相似文献

This article offers detailed analysis of the patterns of book advertising in Marchamont Nedham’s government-sponsored newsbook, Mercurius Politicus. It contends that, for a brief period, Politicus was the nearest thing that the mid-seventeenth century had to a literary periodical and contests standard accounts that Politicus was only successful because government monopoly made it so. Instead I show that Politicus was instrumental in creating an image of the Commonwealth and Protectorate as a Republic of Letters; the cheap print of its small advertisements insisted that the publication of a book was an event, that London was a city of the book, and that its inhabitants might respond to the uncertainty of political revolution by eagerly imagining a future comprised of new books as yet unread. 相似文献

The paper analyzes best-seller lists in seven major European book markets between April 2008 and March 2009. The paper’s authors
introduce the concept of an impact factor for best-selling authors that shows how influential an author is in a given market
and across the analyzed markets overall. The paper’s authors discovered that a new generation of European best-selling authors
appeared in major book markets of Europe such that those not writing in English have an impact of almost twice that of the
English writers. Furthermore, the authors have discovered that only veteran English or American best-selling authors tend
to be published by big media conglomerates; the majority of the European best-selling authors were published by a surprising
mix of big and small, independent and international publishing houses. It is striking that English as the most popular second
language in the world did not play a stronger role as an intermediary language in the transmission of books from one European
culture to another, as European publishers in major markets still employ editors who read a variety of languages and thus
play the role of intermediaries in how books travel from one culture to another. 相似文献

The popular comedic serial Vic and Sade can be viewed in relation to the mass culture critique, a series of criticisms advanced by twentieth century public intellectuals for the benefit of other intellectuals against the alleged negative impacts of mass entertainment, particularly radio, and other aspects of mass culture. A close examination of Vic and Sade's depiction of mass entertainment, specifically film, periodicals, and popular fiction, demonstrates that the program advanced its own critique of mass culture, one coming from the perspective of the masses and directed toward a mass audience. 相似文献

Abstract Croatia considers the book a priority cultural product. Today various forces, both positive and negative, affect publishing in Croatia. A survey of traditional publishing in Croatia based on statistical data collected by the author in the Croatian ISBN Agency over the past 8 years introduces the main topic. The author then reports on the results of a survey of 1,000 publishers, aimed at establishing which medium publishers used for their books between 1993 and the beginning of 1998, the period when book production passed from printed to digital form. The research results show that modern electronic book forms have been gradually developing in Croatia in parallel with traditional publishing. The number of publishers producing books in electronic format is not great. However, the fact that nearly a quarter of the publishers who returned the questionnaire do produce electronic books, shows that Croatian publishers accept new technologies as they appear in countries with a developed publishing industry, onlyin amuch more modest scope. The author mentions electronic books published by as many as forty publishers, and gives a survey of online-bookstores in Croatia. Special attention is paid to book legislation in the country. As a conclusion the author proposes an incentive for electronic publishing. 相似文献

This essay examines the use of moral allegories to represent eating-disordered individuals in the popular television program Ally McBeal and the subsequent controversy surrounding its star, Calista Flockhart. As both fictional character and actor were coded within the vocabulary of eating disorders and feminism, a discourse of disease, detection, authenticity, and correction emerged that portrayed the eating-disordered individual as a moral contagion that threatened to undermine progressive gender politics. It is further suggested that the process of allegoresis can be productively refigured to combat the stigma that emerged from these destructive cultural distinctions. 相似文献
