Making money from magbooks

We have started expanding the range of magbooks we carry in-store. One title we received late last month was The Essential Guide to Portraits.

We received five copies and have one left – 80% sell though so far.  This is an excellent result and we are not done yet.

When was the last time you put your hand up asking to carry a title or a group of titles? We do this regularly and I am certain it is one of the factors in our magazine sales growth.  As magazine specialists we should do everything possible to drive this vitally important point of difference we have.

On The Essential Guide to Portraits, it’s in the photography segment, a very popular magazine segment in our stores.

    I was allocated “Essential Guide to Portraits” from Gotch (12986) as a Oneshot last year in August with a Reissue in Feb. Is this a new issue available through Gotch, or another distinct publication ( I have not received any again lately)

    Thank you Mark. I can follow it up now.
    I like Magbooks, they have worthwhile sell
    price and fill a niche. Our town has lost an A&R bookshop, so things like this are picked up by browsers.
