Book trade

Book trade refers to the buying and selling of books between publishers, bookstores, distributors, and consumers. Publishers produce books, which are then sold to bookstores or directly to readers. Distributors help move books from publishers to various retail outlets, ensuring availability. Bookstores and online retailers stock and sell these titles to the public. The trade involves negotiations on pricing, rights, and distribution channels, with an aim to efficiently reach readers while ensuring fair compensation for creators and sellers. Overall, the book trade is a complex network that connects authors, publishers, sellers, and readers in the dissemination of literary works.
