We love the idea of kids recording their playdates, parties, and vacations. But the truth is that we never really get to experience what it’s like to be a parent. We’re rarely there the day a child is born and the day they leave home. We see them grow up and we realize that that’s all there is to it. We get to see them grow and learn and grow in their own way. We get to witness the highs and lows.
There is a lot of talk about how records are losing their value. But the truth is that we don’t get to experience it in the way we were brought up to. Our parents got us to record them and see them grow and learn and grow in their own ways.
Some of these books are so good we wish we could still be able to read them. I mean really, who hasn’t wished they could read a book that was so good they could write it themselves? We can’t be sure if these books have any value without being able to read it, but they are very popular and they’ve got us all excited for what comes next.
Thats correct, but we can be sure of one thing: they will stay on the shelf for a long time. The kids will have plenty of opportunities to read them later in life (and it’s not like theyll get new readers that are only interested in the books).
The kids will get very little of these books. The majority of the books are actually reprints of old classics while the few that are still in print are new-paper re-edits of classics that have been turned into books by other writers. This is why you see children’s book publishers trying to get other writers to write books for them. The only reason you see children’s book publishers printing these books is because they are so popular. You cant have a popular series that has no readers.
It’s not just the books. In the past few years publishers have been making money off of re-edits of classic books and turning them into new books. This is a good thing, but also means that the books that are re-edits are often not worth the effort. In these cases the new book is a re-edit of the old book.
It’s not just re-edits of classic books that are out there, but re-edits of classic books that we have. The reason we are discussing re-edits is because we know that some of these re-edits are not only being done for commercial reasons, but because they are for the sake of making money. Because these re-edits are so popular we are having to rewrite the books we like.
The latest example is the New York Times bestseller, “The Book Thief.” The old version was a bestseller for twelve years but it was out of print for two years, and then it was re-edited and re-published for the market. So the old version is now a bestseller again. But the good news, it also has a re-edit out there, which we will probably be able to buy it and re-edit it ourselves.
We are having a hard time finding it. Last week we found a copy in a used bookstore, and yesterday we found a copy at a used bookstore and are trying to find a copy at a used bookstore. The re-edits are really popular so we’re having to rewrite many of the books we like.
It’s true, we have had a couple of old re-edits since we’ve been back on the market. But the re-edit we are using is still really popular and is just a little different than the old editions. It is a new, fresh take on the classics and is very fresh and different. While we are working on the re-editing, every week we have a re-edit of some of the old books we have in stock.
