Reading And Riding: Hachette's Railroad Bookstore Network in Nineteenth-Century France ReviewThe first question you have to ask yourself about this book is 'why would I care about a company that had a bunch of bookstores in railway stations.'
The answer gets more complex than you would imagine. For one thing, this was the first time that a wide spread distribution system for books became available. Second, the system became very profitable, and other publishing companies wanted to move into train stations, and the Government got involved. This became a fight between political influence and market forces.
This book focuses on a time long past, but it's analysis may continue as the train station has been replaced by the airport, virtually all of which have book stores. As far as train stations are concerned, on a long train ride recently, only three stations I visited had book stores: Chicago, Washington and New York (Penn Station).
This book is based on research done by the author as part of her graduate school work.Reading And Riding: Hachette's Railroad Bookstore Network in Nineteenth-Century France Overview
