I am surprised to see the Annabel Karmel cookbook in newsagencies in Australia. Our food section is full. Now we need space for Annabel. While I respect Annabel’s work, I question the need for another British cookbook here – we have good Australian titles which struggle. The price point is high as is the quantity we received.
Newsagents need the opportunity to say no to new titles and know that their decision is respected.
I remember reiving this title sometime last year and early returned bcos:
1. the pricepoint
2. don’t know her except perhaps the Brits living here
3. couldn’t justify the cost of leaving it on the shelf and maybe not selling them, so preferred to leave the spot for other more sellable cookbook range.
Hi Mark,
I’ve heard you state G&G allow you input into the new titles you receive.
How is this done via their website? Or an email memo opting out of receiving prior to the onsale?
Wade, we do this direct with them by email. We have done this for several years. They list new titles and we get to choose if we will take them.
