Abstract: First paragraph: The Frankfurt Buchmesse, or book fair, is the world’s largest publishing industry gathering, attracting thousands of exhibitors every October. On one level, it’s a business event focused on creating buzz for forthcoming bestsellers, trading rights and discussing industry developments. On another, it’s a public celebration of books and the values associated with them.2023-10-18T00:00:00ZBook sales have soared since the pandemic - but the industry must adapt to engage with new readersSquires, Clairehttp://hdl.handle.net/1893/335162021-10-28T00:00:29Z2021-10-14T00:00:00ZTitle: Book sales have soared since the pandemic - but the industry must adapt to engage with new readers

Abstract: First paragraph: 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.2021-10-14T00:00:00ZSpitfire Britain and the Zombie UnionHames, Scotthttp://hdl.handle.net/1893/321242021-04-23T00:15:58Z2020-10-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Spitfire Britain and the Zombie Union
Author(s): Hames, Scott
Abstract: This essay applies some ideas from my book on the Literary Politics of Scottish Devolution to recent developments, focusing on the Britishness of devolution and what Brexit means for its future. I argue that Brexit-as-English-awakening torpedoes the British high politics that gave us devolution, and turns ‘the Union’ against unionism.2020-10-01T00:00:00Z
