This postal service is my normal monthly review of the acme 10 fine art books sold inward the final calendar month - Dec 2011. You tin run across to a greater extent than about:
Commentary the fine fine art mass market
I started doing this review because I'd decease really familiar amongst simply how miserable the categorisation was on Amazon too how hard it could hold upward to position proficient fine fine art books
It doesn't larn whatsoever easier!
Sales inward Dec seemed to correct some of the really strange results I got inward November. However "Music" too the "Performing Arts" are soundless unaccountably mixed upward amongst what used to hold upward the Art, Architecture too Photography category on Amazon.com. They are nowhere to hold upward seen on Amazon.co.uk which has a completely dissimilar arrangement for categorising books - too a completely classify category for Music, Stage & Screen!)
Does this hateful sales of fine art books are agency downwards inward the USA?
Or does the current algorithm leaves much to hold upward desired?
I lean towards the latter beingness the explanation having seen some quite ludicrous so-called fine art mass entries inward the acme 100 of the Arts (and that's other than items similar the Thomas Kinkade Disney Collection: 2012 Wall Calendar - I kid you lot not!).
What it does hateful is that the acme 100 books inward Dec / Jan are dominated past times books nearly music too calendars! Not at all helpful to those trying to honor a decent fine fine art book!
What's really interesting is that expensive books nearly art history have come upward to the fore of belatedly amongst 2 books nearly agreement fine art history taking the acme 2 slots for fine art books inward the acme 100 books nearly art. Maybe they brand dandy Christmas presents? Or mayhap they're too therefore expensive they solely always larn bought equally presents?
Also I've yet to empathise the rationale for why an ebook is to a greater extent than expensive than a impress book. Yet I've directly come upward across several examples of the ebook having the higher toll tag.
Another interesting aspect was seeing a mass which purported to hold upward the most pop mass inward i category - but was absolutely costless inward the Kindle version piece the paperback was priced. I can't attention but mean value this is an edited "trailer" for the existent thing. I ignored it on the reason that it was non a novel mass too it had no other merits when published 4 years ago.
I'm likewise outset to run across quite a few self-published books - some of which are a long agency curt of adequate.
Also, piece I was compiling the listings for December, I kept running into whole swathes of explicit adult p**n books inward the "arts" section. I'm assuming that Amazon has been caught napping too that if it has whatsoever feel it volition realise it volition lose a lot of customers if it continues to allow such books to hold upward mixed upward amongst books which children powerfulness wishing to access. If it doesn't disappear I'll hold upward telling Amazon just what I mean value of its novel purpose of pimp!
I can't attention thinking that wading through the nonsense of some of the rankings on Amazon too elsewhere powerfulness simply hold upward nearly to larn a lot to a greater extent than hard inward 2012.
On to the results for December........
The Top Art Books inward Dec 2011
There was too therefore picayune alter inward the acme fine art books in December that I was prompted to create the postal service about Makingamark's Top Five Art Books inward 2011. This identified that at to the lowest degree 5 books had been acme of i or to a greater extent than categories - too sometimes acme of both best selling too acme rated - for all or most of 2011.

Changes planned for next month are
The Best New Art Books inward Dec 2011
The Best NEW Art Books contains the novel listing for December.
Dec is non a calendar month when major books are published. Ones which are aiming to capture the Christmas marketplace position volition hold upward published inward the belatedly Autumn. Thus the ones published inward Dec tin sometimes seem a chip odd.
The oddest affair was Harold Speed's mass on Drawing beingness published equally an ebook on 25th Dec - equally if it were a novel book! I'm likewise seeing a issue of older books emerge equally the digital ebook marketplace position takes off. Line too Form (1900) (Illustrated) by: Walter Crane is some other example. I've likewise got i event of resurrection inward the artists department of this month's selection.
What is completely too utterly depressing is that in that location isn't a unmarried fine fine art mass inward the acme xx novel releases inward Amazon's novel Arts & photography section. As a result of this too other experiences piece reviewing listings I decided non to declare a best selling novel mass or a acme rated novel book.
However I tin already run across lots of indications that Jan is going to hold upward a bumper calendar month for novel publications!
