LaporanCPI meningkat sebesar 7% pada Desember 2020, tertinggi sejak tahun 1982. Data ini di rilis di Amerika pada hari Rabu kemarin. Steve Hanke,professor di Johns Hopkins University mengatakan bahwa tingkat inflasi akan terus meningkat sampai dengan tahun 2024 dan karena ini akan terus terjadi, maka the Fed harus fokus untuk mulai mengurangi persediaan uang. One day each October, the UK publishing industry focuses its attention on a large number of high-profile new book releases. “Super Thursday”, as it is known in the trade, is the start of a seasonal promotion during which authors battle for space inside bookshops and under Christmas trees. The timing is important, as the book-selling business is highly dependent on the festive season, with the final quarter of the year contributing substantially to annual sales. And while this year’s super Thursday October 14 will see fewer publications than previous years, it still boasts nearly 300 new hardbacks. Major titles include a memoir from comedian Billy Connolly, a posthumous spy novel from John le Carré, and a children’s book from Julia Donaldson. And there is good reason for these writers and their publishers to be optimistic. Although COVID-19 has meant challenges for the industry, recent industry figures indicate a marked increase in appetite for books and reading. Despite bricks-and-mortar bookshops being closed for much of 2020, over 200 million print books were sold in that year – the highest number since 2012. The overall value of UK publisher sales in 2020 was £ billion, 2% higher than 2019 figures. A change in reading habits during lockdowns and periods of social restrictions may well have been responsible for this increase. Many people turned to books for entertainment, with some doubling the amount of time they spent reading. Genres including classic literature, crime and thrillers, self-help, cookery and hobbies proved particularly attractive. But are these reading rates and soaring book sales sustainable as the world opens up again to other leisure activities? Certainly some of the signs are good, with a recent national “Bookshop Day” reportedly generating high footfall and record-breaking sales. Yet at the same time, there are serious supply-chain issues on the horizon, exacerbated by both Brexit and COVID-19. The industry is also still dealing with the huge disruption caused by the arrival of big tech companies into the marketplace. The biggest of these is of course Amazon, which swiftly moved from printed book sales and distribution to a seamless connection between e-book software and Kindle hardware. It has since evolved to provide self-publishing platforms, while it analyses reader-behaviour data using algorithms after acquiring the popular reading website Goodreads. Page turner The publishing industry suffers from habitual anxiety that people are no longer interested in buying and reading books; an existential sense of crisis that the buoyant figures of 2020 and 2021 should at least partly dispel. Yet threats from those “digital disrupters”, problems with production and distribution, and concerns about post-Brexit copyright law, mean that optimism can be in short supply in the publishing industry, despite recent successes. To assess whether the future for UK publishing is bright requires a finer-grained analysis. The publishers that did particularly well in the conditions of lockdown were the larger and longer-established ones. Smaller independent companies, against whom the odds are already stacked, struggled more. The industry still relies on the final months of the year. Unspalsh/Renee Fisher But these new companies are crucial to the continuing development of the industry. They are often more innovative in terms of the types of books they commission, the authors they work with, and the audiences they cater to. Publishing in the UK still has an overwhelmingly white and middle-class labour force, as well as being geographically centralised in southern England. And while tech companies might unsettle publishing’s traditional business practices, they can also offer platforms to communities and voices that the industry’s gatekeeping practices only rarely let through. Self-publishing platforms such as Wattpad offer successful alternative models, which can lead to global audiences and business deals. Wattpad’s own figures indicate 90 million monthly users spending 20 billion minutes on the platform every month. But perhaps their most significant statistic is that 90% of the platform’s audience are readers under 40. This level of engagement with such platforms suggests that writing and reading are far from dead, even if the emerging business models that attract some readers present a challenge to the traditional publishing industry. To understand fully whether book publishing is sustainable, we need to think beyond economic considerations of mainstream business. Instead, we should take into account sociological patterns of writing and reading, and the platforms that enable or inhibit them. As the pandemic has shown, reading is still an activity highly valued by millions of people, particularly in situations of stress and increased – but also constrained – leisure time. As the publishing industry emerges, it is undoubtedly sustainable – but the precise shape of its future is both uncertain and open to radical new forces. SejakPidato Khan, Buku Konstitusi AS Laris.

(Foto: Istimewa) CLOSE. More than 200m print books were sold in the UK last year, the first time since 2012 that number has been exceeded, according to an estimate from official book sales monitor Nielsen the coronavirus pandemic causing a series of lockdowns around the country – bookshops in England were closed from 23 March until 15 June, and then again from 5 November until 2 December, with differing lockdowns in place around the rest of the UK – Nielsen has estimated that the volume of print books sold grew by compared with 2019. This equates to 202m books being sold in the UK last year and was worth £ up on 2019, said Bookseller magazine said the figure represented the biggest volume rise in the books market since 2007, and the highest annual value since 2009. The year’s bestselling title was Charlie Mackesy’s uplifting The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, with Richard Osman’s cosy crime thriller The Thursday Murder Club coming in second place, and the cookbook Pinch of Nom – Everyday Light in third. David Walliams and Tony Ross took up three places in the Top 10, with Code Name Bananas, Slime and The World’s Worst Parents. Bernardine Evaristo’s Booker winner, Girl, Woman, Other, Barack Obama’s memoir A Promised Land, and Delia Owens’ novel Where the Crawdads Sing also made the T10, with Guinness World Records in 10th stressed that the figure is an estimate, because it was unable to calculate book sales during the weeks the UK was in lockdown. It based the estimates on its monthly consumer surveys, which collect data from around 3,000 book buyers each month, allowing it to build up a picture of who buys what, from where. “At market level, the books and consumers data – combined with historical data and the weeks for which we did have BookScan UK data – means that the estimates are very accurate,” it Waterstones, Kate Skipper called the figures really encouraging. “So many people have turned to books for sustenance, information and joy through this difficult year – our Top 10 for the year reflects this,” said Skipper, pointing to top sellers for Waterstones including Maggie O’Farrell’s Women’s prize-winning Hamnet, and Douglas Stuart’s Booker-winning Shuggie Bain. “Our shops were obviously mandated to shut for significant chunks of the year, but when we were able to safely open readers were eager to browse again and discover new books,” she O’Brien, charts editor at the Bookseller, said she hadn’t been completely surprised by the high numbers, because the market performed so strongly between lockdowns.“The first week bookshops opened in June, print was up 31% in both volume and value against the same week in 2019, essentially reaching November levels – and that was only with bookshops in England open,” she said. “This growth pretty much maintained across the summer and early autumn. In 2019, the market’s weekly volume didn’t hit 4m books sold until mid-November; in 2020, it reached it in the last week of September and stayed there.”O’Brien said bookbuyers seemed to be “making the effort to go to high-street and independent bookshops while they could, and spending a lot of money in one go”. She added that “the growth was very much spread across the board, with no single standout bestseller until The Thursday Murder Club’s December sales at least driving the market upwards.”Other strong sellers included Sally Rooney’s Normal People, Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race, Lisa Jewell’s The Family Upstairs and Hilary Mantel’s The Mirror and the Nicola Solomon at the Society of Authors said that despite the strong overall performance, many authors were still struggling. “Book sales are up. We just don’t believe they are up across the board,” she said. “Big names, established series, even some newcomers have done well, but plenty of people have suffered.”The Society of Authors’ emergency fund for authors facing financial hardship has given out £ to date, to just over 1,000 authors, and will continue to support writers in trouble as a result of the pandemic.“People assume that authors make all their money from book sales, but many do not. Children’s authors depend hugely on school visits, many authors depend on lecturing or appearances or performances and anyone who depends on performance has completely lost that. It’s a massive loss of income,” said Solomon. “Not to mention people who are actually ill, and the influence of bookshops on selling a different range of books. Libraries are closed so writers can’t get known to readers that way. It’s very difficult.”Menjualbuku teks bekas secara online juga sangat sederhana.

The sales were worth £ – a 3% increase on 2020, and the first year on record that sales have topped £ The figures were released on Tuesday by Nielsen BookScan, which was forced to fill in lockdown data gaps with estimates based on its monthly consumer surveys, which collect data from around 3,000 book buyers each month. Bookshops across the UK were shut for over three months at the start of was up 20% compared with 2019, said Nielsen, propelled by 19% volume growth for the crime and thriller genre, 23% for science fiction and fantasy, and 49% for romance. Chart-topping sales for Richard Osman’s first two novels drove crime’s strong performance The Thursday Murder Club was the year’s bestselling title, while The Man Who Died Twice was the fourth bestselling title of the year. In non-fiction, the mind, body, spirit category saw the biggest growth, up by 50% to hit a lifetime high of £ Mackesy’s “book of hope”, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, continued to be a source of inspiration for readers as the year’s second bestselling title, revealed Nielsen, followed by Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, an uplifting novel in which heroine Nora struggles with depression. Other strong performers include the Women’s prize winner Hamnet, by Maggie O’Farrell, and the Booker prize winner Shuggie Bain, by Douglas Stuart, with adult fiction taking nine spots in the Top 20, its highest total since 2012. Adam Silvera’s young adult novel They Both Die at the End, a favourite on TikTok, just made it into the Top 20, the first YA title to do so since 2015.“Overall, the year’s bestsellers show book buyers seeking out comfort, laughter, escapism, familiarity and maybe a sense of community, given the continued impact of social media in bringing in new authors with existing platforms and creating conversations around new and old books,” said Nielsen’s Jackie Swope. “The start of 2022 is unfortunately looking a lot like 2021, with a new variant, a rush to vaccinate and widespread uncertainty. But one thing we can be certain about books are most definitely not a pandemic fad and have proved their lasting power time and again.”Kiera O’Brien, charts editor at The Bookseller, welcomes the growth. “It really does seem to be a re-discovered/newfound love of reading driving sales across the board. Fiction rising 20% against 2019 for the non-lockdown weeks of 2021 is really incredible, given how sluggish fiction sales have been previously,” she said. “Of course, Osman brought in nearly £12m in the non-lockdown weeks alone, but both Hamnet and Shuggie Bain hitting the year’s top 20 bestseller list shows literary fiction is rising and perhaps the nation’s desire to support their local indie too. “The Top 10 bestselling books of 2021 The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman Penguin £ The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy Ebury £ The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Canongate £ The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman Penguin £ Pinch of Nom Quick and Easy by Kay Featherstone and Kate Allinson Pan Macmillan £20 Guinness World Records 2022 Guinness World Records £20 And Away … by Bob Mortimer Simon & Schuster £20 Megamonster by David Walliams HarperCollins £ Windswept and Interesting by Billy Connolly John Murray Press £25 Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Little, Brown £ Figures provided by Nielsen BookScan.
A Brief History of Time" atau "Sejarah Singkat Waktu" adalah sebuah buku sains populer karya Fisikawan Inggris, Stephen Hawking. Buku tipis yang dirilis pada tahun 1988 ini adalah buku sains paling laris sepanjang masa dengan penjualan mencapai 10 juta salinan dan menjadi best-seller internasional selama 4 tahun berturut-turut.Jakarta - Sejak Indonesia mendapat kehormatan menjadi guest of honor dalam perhelatan Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, persoalan data perbukuan sudah mengemuka. Ikatan Penerbit Indonesia Ikapi berinisiatif menerbitkan buku bertajuk Industri Penerbitan Buku Indonesia Dalam Data dan Fakta dalam dua bahasa. Buku ini lantas menjadi rujukan banyak orang dan lembaga di Indonesia, termasuk lembaga internasional. Di dalam buku itu disebutkan bahwa rata-rata jumlah buku terbit per tahun adalah judul dan potensi pasar buku di Indonesia mencapai Rp 14,1 T. Saya sebagai orang yang ikut menyusun hasil riset perbukuan "seadanya" tersebut masih belum puas karena minimnya basis data yang diperoleh. Sebenarnya basis data primer dari jumlah buku terbit dapat diselisik dari ISBN Internasional Standard Book Number. Namun, karena keterbatasan waktu dan akses, pengolahan data dari ISBN tidak sempat pada Mei 2022 tiba-tiba perbincangan tentang ISBN menghangat. Saya sendiri diundang dalam rapat khusus tentang ISBN oleh Perpusnas RI. Pasalnya, Perpusnas sebagai otoritas pengelola ISBN di Indonesia mendapat peringatan dari lembaga ISBN mengeluarkan kebijakan menunda ISBN ribuan buku karena terjadinya ketidakwajaran pengajuan ISBN. Lalu, secara resmi pada 18 Mei, sehari setelah perayaan Hari Buku Nasional, Perpusnas mengadakan Sosialisasi Layanan ISBN yang memberi informasi terkini terkait pengajuan tertarik pada dua artikel yang terbit di media arus utama terkait fenomena yang saling berhubungan, yaitu jumlah buku terbit di Indonesia, pengajuan ISBN, dan fakta perbukuan Indonesia sendiri. Artikel pertama ditulis oleh Sidik Nugroho Kompas, 16/5 bertajuk Guru dan Buku-Buku Tak Perlu dan artikel kedua ditulis oleh Anggun Gunawan detikcom, 25/5 bertajuk ISBN, Penerbit Indie, dan Regulasi Kemendikbud. Fenomena yang diungkap Sidik dalam opini Kompas menyiratkan fenomena "mendadak menulis buku" yang menjangkiti para guru, termasuk juga dosen. Hal ini ditengarai buah dari gerakan literasi yang masif dilakukan sejak 2015 dan karya tulis sebagai syarat kenaikan pangkat. Guru dan dosen berlomba-lomba menghasilkan buku untuk tujuan pragmatis memperoleh angka kredit dan tujuan idelis turut bergiat dalam kemajuan literasi dalam satu dekade ini di Indonesia sering diucapkan seperti layaknya sebuah mantra di tengah berbagai klaim survei internasional bahwa Indonesia negara yang kurang literat. Semua pendidik berbicara soal literasi, beramai-ramai mengikuti pelatihan menulis, dan juga beramai-ramai mengikuti lomba/sayembara menulis buku. Pada ujungnya mereka juga beramai-ramai menulis dan menerbitkan buku meskipun pada saluran penerbit berbayar vanity publisher.Euforia ini pula yang ditengarai menjadi salah satu "biang kerok" membeludaknya pengajuan ISBN. Sidik menyebut terjadi penulisan dan penerbitan buku-buku yang tidak perlu karena mutunya diragukan. Soal mutu ini terungkap juga dari penilaian buku nonteks sebutan untuk buku di luar buku teks di Pusat Perbukuan. Pada 2019 hanya 31,77% buku yang lulus dari buku yang diajukan dan pada 2020 hanya 24,18% buku yang lulus dari judul yang ber-ISBN untuk saat ini dengan fenomena yang melatarinya dapat diasumsikan tidak selalu buku yang bermutu. Perpusnas RI dalam pengajuan ISBN tidak mensyaratkan mutu buku dan tidak pula memiliki kewenangan atau sumber daya untuk menilai mutu buku. Penilaian itu harus dilakukan oleh lembaga penerbit yang mengajukan ISBN. Jika ada buku-buku tidak bermutu diajukan ISBN, tentu kredibilitas lembaga pengajunya yang patut itu, usul Anggun dalam artikelnya agar pengajuan ISBN diikuti dengan pengiriman berkas digital buku secara lengkap tidak relevan dan bakal menimbulkan masalah tersendiri. Bagaimanapun berkas digital itu merupakan aset digital penerbit yang harus dipertanggungjawabkan Perpusnas jika dipersyaratkan. Perpusnas harus menjamin aset digital itu tidak bocor atau dibajak oleh oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Ini menjadi PR Buku, Minus PertumbuhanIndonesia menjadi tampak luar biasa dengan jumlah terbitan mencapai yang terbesar pada 2020 yakni judul yang justru terjadi pada masa pandemi. Sampai kemudian antiklimaks terjadi ketika lembaga ISBN Internasional yang berpusat di London menghentikan sementara pemberian nomor ISBN kepada Indonesia. Soal ini yang diungkap Anggun sebagai "ketidakwajaran" yang harus beberapa opini senada, jumlah terbitan 140 ribuan buku itu akan dikaitkan dengan jumlah penduduk Indonesia yang saat ini mencapai 275 juta jiwa. Anggun menyodorkan perbandingan dengan China dan AS. Pada 2014, China menggunakan ISBN tahunan terbanyak di dunia dengan 444,000 nomor. Diikuti oleh AS sebanyak 304,912 nomor dan Inggris dengan jumlah 184,000 nomor. Inggris dengan populasi penduduk 67 juta jiwa saja sudah mencapai angka tentu semestinya Indonesia boleh lebih dari membandingkan antara jumlah buku dan jumlah penduduk dalam kasus ISBN ini tidaklah sesederhana itu. Ketidakwajaran yang ditangkap oleh ISBN internasional berdasarkan konfirmasi dari Perpusnas karena ada terbitan yang semestinya tidak perlu diberi ISBN malah di-ISBN-kan. Dapat disebutkan terbitan yang dianggap seolah-olah buku, padahal bukan, di antaranya laporan lembaga pemerintah, laporan KKN mahasiswa, makalah dalam bentuk policy brief, prosiding seminar berkala, dan buku antologi yang diterbitkan secara internal serta disebarkan secara terbatas jauh lagi ketidakwajaran yang nyata adalah tidak sinkron antara buku yang diterbitkan dan fakta penjualan buku di Indonesia. Berdasarkan data Ikapi melalui Toko Buku Gramedia 2020 terjadi penurunan pertumbuhan penjualan yang signifikan. Pada 2019 terjadi pertumbuhan 4,20 %, turun dari 2018 pada angka 7,38 %. Angka ini merosot tajam akibat pandemi COVID-19 pada 2020 menjadi -17,27 % Q1 dan -72,47 % Q2.Kesimpulannya, pertumbuhan bisnis buku cetak dan buku digital mengalami kemerosotan sejak 2017 dan lebih parah lagi pada masa pandemi 2020. Ikapi sendiri menyatakan ketidaksinkronan antara buku yang dijual dan buku yang diterbitkan dalam versi ISBN Perpusnas. Padahal, ISBN sangat berhubungan dengan aktivitas rantai pasok buku dalam bisnis perbukuan. Artinya, jika buku-buku ber-ISBN itu tidak djual maka muncul pertanyaan relevan Untuk apa buku-buku tersebut di-ISBN-kan?Misteri Data PerbukuanSejatinya data bisnis perbukuan nasional, terutama potensi pasar dan pendapatan, masih menjadi misteri. Penerbit di Indonesia tidak terbuka soal revenue penjualan buku dan pertumbuhan bisnisnya. Ikapi sendiri mendasarkan data risetnya pada penjualan di Toko Buku Gramedia, bukan dari anggotanya. Dalam hal ini penjualan dan pertumbuhan bisnis buku di Indonesia memang tidak sepenuhnya terdeteksi, terutama penjualan ritel penerbit-penerbit mandiri self publisher dan penjualan melalui mekanisme penggunaan dana proyek seperti DAK sebelum pembelian buku dihapuskan dan dana hendak menakar kemajuan industri perbukuan kita sejatinya, ada momentum penting pada 2022 ini. Indonesia, tepatnya Jakarta, akan menjadi tuan rumah penyelenggaraan Kongres International Publishers Association IPA yang ke-33. Ikapi sebagai anggota IPA dapat menyajikan presentasi terkait kemajuan perbukuan Indonesia—atau kemunduran akibat pandemi waktunya tinggal sedikit, semestinya pada momentum ini dapat dimunculkan data yang komprehensif dan akurat tentang industri perbukuan kita dengan memanfaatkan sinergi antara Ikapi, Pusat Perbukuan Kemdikbudristek, Perpusnas RI, Kemenparekraf, serta Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa. Harus terjadi sinkronisasi data antarlembaga yang mengurusi perbukuan atau berkepentingan terhadap perbukuan di negeri itu melalui perhelatan ini dapat memberi pesan kepada lembaga ISBN internasional apakah Indonesia wajar mengajukan ISBN dalam angka 140 ribuan judul per tahun. Atau sebaliknya, mengonfirmasi bahwa perbukuan Indonesia tidak "semeriah" pengajuan ISBN yang lagi data berbicara. Tanpa data, semuanya tetap misteri, termasuk soal literasi dan minat baca di negeri Trimansyah Ketua Umum Perkumpulan Penulis dan Editor Profesional Penpro mmu/mmu JrVFQI.
