Thursday in October heralds book industry’s major assault on the Christmas market
The nature of that rectangular parcel under the Christmas tree can now be predicted: it could well be a new cook book by Nigella Lawson, Gordon Ramsay or Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, just like last year.
Or it might not even be a cook book: it could be a television star’s memoir – Sue Perkins, co-presenter of the Great British Bake Off, say, or soon to be Top Gear’s Chris Evans – or a football autobiography like Big Sam from manager and former player Sam Allardyce, or the thrilling working life of a pop star, like On the Road, marketed with the enticing query, “Want to know what really goes on during an Olly Murs UK tour?”
Or it might be a straight spin-off from a television programme, such as A-Z of Pointless from actor turned quiz show host Alexander Armstrong, Dick & Dom’s Christmas Jokes, or Gogglebook from the people who brought you Gogglebox.
The clues are in the announcement of more than 500 titles to be published on Super Thursday, 8 October, the publishing industry’s major assault on the Christmas market, previewed inFriday’s Bookseller.
