Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption

Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption

by Laura J. Miller (Author)

Synopsis

Bookselling has evolved from an arena dominated by independent bookstores to one in which chain stores have significant market share. Yet unlike other retail industries, bookselling should be "above" questions of profit. This work investigates what drives this belief and how it is affected by the changing retail environment.
