The article is very long and the workload is very heavy. Please listen to me in detail.
Physical bookstore articles
There are not many physical bookstores these days. The probability of reading a good book in a physical bookstore is similar to the probability of meeting a good girl. 10 dry goods are arranged as follows:
1. In principle, if you don't buy a bestseller, you can browse at will. If you think you have a strong sense of vision, then leave the scene quickly. (The best seller here refers to things that have been fired up, and good popular books are not included here, such as "Biography of Ma Yun")
There are too many books recommended by celebrities. If you open a book and find that the front of the title page is littered with celebrity comments, you must convince yourself decisively that 80% of them are junk, especially these celebrities are the owners of chicken soup for the soul.
3. Don't buy crash books (such as Mastering WeChat Writing in Three Days and Marketing Planning with Over 10,000 Fans in Seven Days). There are many kinds of tools in this kind of books. Generally, they are big and complete, and they can't understand anything. The price tag is still expensive, and the bundled CD-ROM basically has no learning value, because there is no CD-ROM drive in the computer now ... It is a complete waste of money, and it is still necessary to learn technology slowly and steadily.
4. Don't buy books about success and chicken soup for the soul. There is another reason besides hehehehehehehehehehehehe. You can see these in the circle of friends.
5. Don't buy novels that follow the trend (such as: three things between Harry Potter and Stalin, who am I Graf, Luo Yonghao thinking).
6. Don't buy celebrity comments ("What is XX" and "XXX is unhappy")
7. If you want to improve your writing style, please look for domestic works before the 1960s.
8. Books with rising posture should only be aimed at foreign translations, and domestic ones are all parallel imports.
9. Don't buy books that fool people ("What is Internet Thinking" and "The Three Axes of Hunger Marketing")
10. Good books are not near the counter.
ebook / electronic book / e-book
Now Kindle and reading app are very popular, and e-book websites are also mixed. Niu Ban's collection of these six is quite brilliant:
1. Shu Ge
Bookstores are mainly aimed at groups who like to read ancient books, enriching valuable rare books in ancient books, including literature, philosophy, historical materials, natural science, religion and so on. Dongpo set recommended by the home page feels high-end literature and art.
2. Easy to read
Du Hao. Com is an e-book sharing platform established by netizens in Taiwan Province Province. It mainly provides the download of traditional books, featuring books in vertical format. Many e-books are edited and manually arranged, so you can have a good reading experience (please ignore the poor reading method of txt documents). Good reading website is a public welfare website to promote Chinese e-books. It is the result of a group of accidental readers' continuous efforts and contributions from the establishment of 200 1 website for themselves and everyone.
Step 3 read for free
You can know from the name of the website that Readfree provides a large number of free books for everyone. In addition to downloading books, Readfree also supports Amazon Kindle's push service.
4. Book recommendation hall
As the name implies, the book recommendation hall is only responsible for recommending books, collecting and sorting out a considerable number of book lists, which are complicated and need to be selected by itself.
5. Love beans
Before the revision, Aikandou provided a large number of high-quality e-book download services. After registering an account, you can get books for free according to the daily download limit, and also provide the function of pushing to kindle devices. However, this e-book sharing website will eventually face copyright problems, which directly leads to the transformation and revision of love beans. Now readers can find that love beans only provide two kinds of works: public copyright and original literature. Even after the revision, the number of e-books has been greatly reduced, but Aikandou still provides us with very high-quality e-books on ancient books, and has launched a plan similar to the publishing house platform. You can provide your own e-books on Love Beans, or you can pay for reading.
6. Google Custom Search
The cowboy class found that the Google custom search provided here mainly integrates the e-book resources of Baidu Cloud and the easy-to-read network we introduced above, so that readers can easily search their favorite e-books.
7. East and West Libraries
West &; Oriental Library devotes itself to the thinking, communication and exchange of the "third culture" and pays attention to the interaction in the fields of Internet, science and technology, commerce, media and electronic reading. Including but not limited to: paper, electronic publishing, copyright introduction, planning, cultural forum. He has published books such as Out of Control, Technical Elements, Font Story, Digital Utopia, Bit Literacy, and Power of Change.
The quality of published books on the market is still quite high, which I believe many readers have heard about.
Publish an article
There is an online article, "Buy a book without looking at the publishing house-publishing house ranking", which is very popular. On this basis, the cowherd class also made the following arrangements:
1. People's Literature Publishing House
In addition to publishing a large number of books in the name of People's Literature Publishing House, the agency also uses writers' publishing houses (1953 to 1958, 1960 to 1969) and art publishing houses (1953 to1959). 1987 turn 1989), China Drama Publishing House (1954 turn 1979), Foreign Literature Publishing House (1979 turn 2009) and other sub-brands publish various literary books.
The strength of the club is non-famous foreign literature, such as Harry Potter series.
As for the "classic" category, because the agency mostly adopts the version of the older generation of translators, the language style is somewhat outdated, but the older generation also has the benefits of the older generation. Because of the monthly salary, you don't have to rush to finish the work. It is also possible to translate a book for a lifetime, with meticulous carving and rigorous style. Some translators have been studying a writer all their lives, but it is not easy to do so. One hand is the Complete Works of XX, which is quite weighty.
2. Shanghai Translation Press
In fact, this is the holy land of publishing in my mind. Once I went to Shanghai specially and made three bows at the gate of Shanghai Translation Publishing House. The reason why I ranked him behind People's Literature Publishing House is because I dislike the unkind price of its products. Shanghai Translation Publishing House is second to none in foreign literature, worthy of its name. I always feel that there is nothing wrong with books translated in Shanghai except expensive ones.
3. Business Press
A giant who publishes reference books. At the same time, it has strong strength in publishing academic books. However, book binding is a bit too simple. Although some people like this style, I think it is better to open a commercial press and be domineering.
4. Writers Publishing House
The foreign literature translated by Writers Publishing House has never surprised me. Writers Publishing House published * * * and China literature, which is quite awesome.
5. Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House
There are not many books published by the agency, and the quality is quite high and reliable. The biggest advantage is exquisite binding, and the biggest disadvantage is that the price is very expensive.
6. Renmin University of China Press
Renmin University of China Press is the best of all university presses in China, and there is no one. Tsinghua and Peking University can't compete with him. The biggest feature of this institution is that it is bold in selecting materials, and he dares to do what others dare not do. Although the price is quite expensive, university press is very expensive except Nankai. Considering the paper, printing, binding, content and number of pages, the price/performance ratio of Renmin University Press is quite high.
7. Feng Chun Literature and Art Publishing House
As the cradle of youth literature, paper selection and packaging are very common. As the core readers of this institution are students, it is reasonable to save costs and reduce prices.
8. Fudan University Press
There are few books published by Fudan University Press, which are extremely detailed. It is the Rolls-Royce of the publishing industry.
9. Yilin Publishing House
In translating foreign literature, Yilin Publishing House has an incomparable advantage-completeness. Many times, I am looking forward to the translated version of my favorite book, but I have no choice but to find that Yilin is the only one who loves to buy or not.
