I attended a publishing conference this week and moderated a panel on the future of the bookshop, before meeting many of the reps who sell our books to retailers around the world. And it transpired that not only is photography becoming a decorative commodity but parts of the book trade are too. The Scandinavian agent explained that one of his region’s biggest online retailers now lets you search for titles not by topic or author but by jacket colour.
