This post service is my normal monthly review of the altitude 10 fine art books sold inwards the concluding calendar month - Dec 2011. You tin run across to a greater extent than about:
Commentary the fine fine art majority market
I started doing this review because I'd drib dead rattling familiar amongst but how pathetic the categorisation was on Amazon together with how hard it could live on to position skilful fine fine art books
It doesn't larn whatever easier!
Sales inwards Dec seemed to correct some of the rattling strange results I got inwards November. However "Music" together with the "Performing Arts" are silent unaccountably mixed upwardly amongst what used to live on the Art, Architecture together with Photography category on Amazon.com. They are nowhere to live on seen on Amazon.co.uk which has a completely unlike organisation for categorising books - together with a completely form category for Music, Stage & Screen!)
Does this hateful sales of fine art books are agency downwardly inwards the USA?
Or does the current algorithm leaves much to live on desired?
I lean towards the latter beingness the explanation having seen some quite ludicrous so-called fine art majority entries inwards the altitude 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 altitude 100 books inwards Dec / Jan are dominated past times books most music together with calendars! Not at all helpful to those trying to uncovering a decent fine fine art book!
What's rattling interesting is that expensive books most art history have come upwardly to the fore of piece of cake amongst 2 books most agreement fine art history taking the altitude 2 slots for fine art books inwards the altitude 100 books most art. Maybe they brand bang-up Christmas presents? Or perchance they're together with then expensive they exclusively always larn bought every bit presents?
Also I've yet to empathize the rationale for why an ebook is to a greater extent than expensive than a impress book. Yet I've right away come upwardly across several examples of the ebook having the higher toll tag.
Another interesting aspect was seeing a majority which purported to live on the most pop majority inwards i category - but was absolutely gratis inwards the Kindle version piece the paperback was priced. I can't assist but intend this is an edited "trailer" for the existent thing. I ignored it on the footing that it was non a novel majority together with it had no other merits when published 4 years ago.
I'm likewise initiative off 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 inwards the "arts" section. I'm assuming that Amazon has been caught napping together with that if it has whatever feel it volition realise it volition lose a lot of customers if it continues to allow such books to live on mixed upwardly amongst books which children powerfulness wishing to access. If it doesn't disappear I'll live on telling Amazon just what I intend of its novel utilization of pimp!
I can't assist thinking that wading through the nonsense of some of the rankings on Amazon together with elsewhere powerfulness but live on most to larn a lot to a greater extent than hard inwards 2012.
On to the results for December........
The Top Art Books inwards Dec 2011
There was together with then petty modify inwards the altitude fine art books in December that I was prompted to practise the post service about Makingamark's Top Five Art Books inwards 2011. This identified that at to the lowest degree 5 books had been altitude of i or to a greater extent than categories - together with sometimes altitude of both best selling together with altitude rated - for all or most of 2011.

The Best New Art Books inwards 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 volition live on published inwards the piece of cake Autumn. Thus the ones published inwards Dec tin sometimes seem a chip odd.
The oddest matter was Harold Speed's majority on Drawing beingness published every bit an ebook on 25th Dec - every bit if it were a novel book! I'm likewise seeing a issue of older books emerge every bit the digital ebook marketplace takes off. Line together with Form (1900) (Illustrated) by: Walter Crane is some other example. I've likewise got i event of resurrection inwards the artists department of this month's selection.
What is completely together with utterly depressing is that at that topographic point isn't a unmarried fine fine art majority inwards the altitude xx novel releases inwards Amazon's novel Arts & photography section. As a result of this together with other experiences piece reviewing listings I decided non to declare a best selling novel majority or a altitude rated novel book.
However I tin already run across lots of indications that Jan is going to live on a bumper calendar month for novel publications!
