Reading The Future: a report
Sponsored by IBS Bookmaster
"What would make you spend more money in a bookshop?"   This is just one of the questions which The Bookseller and consumer research company, The Next Big Thing  put  to more than 1,000 people across the UK in a groundbreaking survey on consumer attitudes to books.  See how they responded, and discover how publishing and retailing will be shaped by wider social and cultural trends. 

The full report's findings will have huge implications for your business, whether you are a publisher, retailer, agent or librarian. 

William Higham, c.e.o, Next Big Thing gave a keynote presentation at Reading The Future seminar on 12th June at London Stock Exchange on his research findings and joining him, to discuss the implications of this exclusive research, was a panel of leading industry figures including Seni Glaister, c.e.o, The Book People, Bill Scott-Kerr, pubisher, Transworld and Sam Husain, c.e.o, Foyles.

THE REPORT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, with 20,000 words of analysis and fresh data.
