The practical function of children's books is to enlighten children's wisdom and cultivate their sentiment, but these expensive books are not only enlightening children's wisdom, but also testing parents' wallets. The high price, exquisite packaging and many versions of children's books have long been the market status quo. Just walk into a bookstore, and there are not a few books priced at three figures. International award-winning novel series popular with children, priced at 48 1 yuan, although there are only a few books. Children's Encyclopedia 398 yuan, a set of Andersen's fairy tales 280 yuan, New Grimm's Fairy Tales 2 18 yuan. ...
The survey shows that in 20 12 years, the reading rate of national books in China was 54.9%, and the per capita reading of paper books was only 4.39, the reading of newspapers and periodicals was 77.20 and 6.56 respectively, and the reading of e-books was 2.35. Compared with 20 1 1, the comprehensive reading rate of various media including books, newspapers and digital publications is 76.3%, which is lower than 20 1 1 .3 percentage points. On the one hand, publishing houses are accumulating books like "runaway", on the other hand, the national reading rate is increasing like "snail". "Publishing books is faster than selling books" is a tacit reality. The pricing of several hundred thousand yuan is a high wall between readers and books, which also makes readers more and more confused about the book price: "The book price is too high, which is like profiteering." Many people also began to complain: "books are a luxury, and buying books is a luxury."
