Prices, fueled by publishers' variable discounts, has been the key in the acquisition of maximum market share. It has been suggested that retailers automatically assume that they can increase their base terms following which they will expect complete discounts.

What is required is an absolute transparency in transactions made by publishers on titles. Due to displacement of retail sales there is a negative impact on stockholding booksellers. In conclusion, it is hoped that publishers will eventually accept that it is not in the interest of anyone to sell competing book titles to booksellers and direct sale operations. pubtype: Trade Publication doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Bookseller is the property of Bookseller Media Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
