Infographic: How do Canadians measure up?

In the spirit of a little healthy competition between book-loving countries, we wanted to see how Canadian reading habits stacked up to our neighbours in the US. We brushed off BookNet's Canadian Leisure Time Study to do a quick comparison.

Research & Analysis, ONIX, Standards & Metadata

Retailers and libraries come to us and ask: "what can publishers give us to display their books?" The 49th Shelf staff sidle up and whisper: "do you know where we can get PDF chapters?" And then there are dates! What dates do you want to see, retailers? What dates can you supply, publishers?

 

BookNet Canada wants to know. We need to know to help you publish, distribute, sell, or loan books more effectively. Read on to learn how you can make a huge contribution.

Subscription boxes are like a fun mystery grab bag full of books and book related goodies delivered right to your door every month. We speculate about their impact on the Canadian supply chain and if we will we be seeing more of them in the future.

Intern extraordinaire Jamie Ferrin is entering the last weeks of her BookNet internship. Though our time together is coming to a close, we're going to miss Jamie a lot. She takes a moment in this post to reflect on everything she's experienced at the BNC office while we interject meaningless .gifs into her heartfelt statements (sorry Jamie).
