One book - one price

Serbian Chamber of Commerce is preparing a regulation that will suppress huge discounts on street sales and sales

Second, opinion:

Thank you, prevent these few literate people who like to take the book in their hands for that purpose, don't give it to them, let them start watching the grand parade and broadcast the assemblies, what will the books do for us, who else video, what is it for, is it spread on bread.

Third, explanation: I came across this news

on the net , that the group for book publishing and book distribution at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (wtf?) is preparing a bill that would not allow any discount in the first year of publication, everyone would have to stick to the agreed price, which would be printed on the cover.

What does this mean for the buyer in practice - there is no discount at fairs, street stalls, readers' clubs ... Yes, it means that gentlemen who sell books expensively have something against someone else selling the same book cheaper (and it still pays to be selling) ...

OK, I admit, booksellers have to pay rent in the facilities, taxes, and many street vendors get away with these things. On the other hand, this law would abolish other legal types of discounts, which is inadmissible.

It is one thing for the publisher to print the recommended retail price of the book, and indicate that it is recommended, so you as a reader can see if the seller gives you a discount or charges more than a regular margin, but to determine at what price he will sell his goods. .. hm, ...

The fact is that I can always wait a year to buy a good book. Well, you didn't screw me up. You did, because you didn't earn anything from me again.

Or I will order the original in English, and pay for it cheaper than your low-quality translations that destroy the whole experience of one book ...

There is hope that the publishers themselves will rebel against this, because in recent years they are the only ones to make progress in Serbian bookstores. who have introduced world business models and mutual cooperation with their readers
