Blackwell Online Report Strong Sales for Business Books
Blackwell Online are seeing strong sales of business books, despite the current business and financial downturn
(PRWEB) December 17, 2008 -- Blackwell Online, the leading UK based book retailer, has seen strong sales of its business books, despite the credit crunch continuing to have a firm grip on most companies and businesses throughout the country.
As the UK enters into a period of increased business and financial instability, the question emerges of how well equipped today's business leaders and employees are to manage their businesses during a recession, when the prevailing trend of the past years has been one of growth and stability.
Blackwell (http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/welcome.jsp ) believes this explains why Blackwell Online has seen buoyant sales in the past six weeks - including the three top selling business books "Acquisitions Essentials", "Ideas are Free" and "Future-Engage-Deliver".
In fact Blackwell has a wide range of books (http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/buy.jsp?dept=Book ) addressing the theme of financial instability. A new book on Blackwell Online's virtual bookshelves is "Panic". This book looks at how people's lives are ruled by the cycle of financial boom and bust. "Panic" is a collection of articles from contemporary commentators, giving a new insight into how markets operate and who really knows what they're talking about.
To cater for the strong interest in business books and financial books (http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/bisac/-12429/BUS027000/Finance_Books ) which can offer advice on how to survive a recession, Blackwell Online has pulled together a unique collection which can be viewed online on the Blackwell business books (http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/bisac/-12388/BUS/Business__Economics ) page.
