Examining the experience of different countries and the new challenges of Iranian publishers with the monetization of Shabbos.
🔹Reza Hajiabadi, Hazare Phoenix's director of international publications, emphasizes that Shabak is not just an issue; it is part of the explanatory and economic infrastructure of the publishing industry, according to him: support for publishing is compatible with receiving new expenses when these expenses will lead to the reduction of barriers, facilitating the activities of publishers, developing the book market and improving the status of publishing in the country.
A bookseller or online store should be able to get valid information about the book by rejecting it and update its information if the price or specification of the work changes.
The point is not that public institutions should not have copies of books to preserve the written heritage; Instead, the problem is the need for transparency in the number of copies, their storage location and how they are used.
What is important is the balance between cost and service, transparency in receiving payment and participation of stakeholders in decision making. If the publisher is going to pay for this infrastructure, they should also get their share of the services.
