MORELIA, Mich., December 5, 2020.- There is a 60 percent upturn in Mexico in book sales, due to the pandemic, this especially in self-help issues, said the writer and spokesperson for the Communication Council , and from FIL, Sophie Moghrani, who said that we would have to wait to pass the fair and these dates to see this increase.
What happens is that in the matter of business, in self-help, in terms of depression and this type of problem, there are people who, because they do not go out, because they do not even have the means, go to a book, he said.
“Sometimes the means do not exist to go to a psychiatrist or to go to psychotherapy; we have people who have elderly people living at home, and a book helps us for about 150 or 250 pesos, if we want it for money, “said the writer.
We even lack libraries, he said, and many times there are invalid encyclopedias in those spaces, he said; “They still have the world as it was before the Berlin Wall fell, or the Cold War ended. Fortunately nowadays young people are informed and sometimes also with nonsense ”, he acknowledged and indicated that there is a hashtag at the International Book Fair, aimed at young people and it is #laFILtellega
The spokeswoman said that after FIL and even after the festivities of this December, it will be seen how much the readings increased in Mexico, especially on issues of self-esteem, because the editors have pointed out that this is what sells the most, as well as the books that have the idea of how to become a millionaire; “It does not hurt to see that, because the people who were unemployed in this pandemic, it is better to inform themselves than to be misinformed with the compadre.”
And there are also books that allow people to prepare on specific topics and things like that; He said, “There must be a thousand books on how to start a business, I have no doubt about that and especially if you already have a business that is in decline, what to do, that is what is being sold more right now,” he said. , and said that it would be a lie to say that more novels or literature are being sold.
