The Bookseller

The Bookseller has been the business magazine of the book industry since 1858; incorporating the even earlier Bent's Literary Advertiser, established in 1802. It is one of the UK’s longest-standing magazines. The Bookseller has reported on every significant book trade event from the launch of George Eliot's Mill on the Floss in 1860, Allen Lane’s launch of the paperback, the demise of the Net Book Agreement in 1995 and today’s Amazon-led competitive struggles. It is based in London and privately owned. Each week, The Bookseller magazine is the incisive and independent source of business intelligence and analysis for the book trade. It produces the Official Top 50 chart and previews all key forthcoming books three months before publication. For publishers, retailers, agents, libraries, national media and festivals, it is the trusted primary source. For years, The Bookseller’s author interviews have profiled many top authors – or those destined to become so, including the unknown J K Rowling in 1997. Online, thebookseller.com is the book trade’s most visited UK site with over 150,000 unique monthly users. It is where the book trade advertises its vacancies and where those in the trade, or wanting to enter it, look for their next role. With the largest book trade-focussed editorial team in the UK, the website is number one for news. On Twitter, @thebookseller has more than 100,000 followers.
