Although Kepes’s work can currently only be ordered in e-book form, Libri claims that he did not withdraw Kepes’s book or the works of other authors.
András Kepes’s post on FB started an avalanche recently.
The popular former host and writer shared with his followers that his publisher, Libri, pulled his hit volume,
The stupid happy and the depressed smart.
She later canceled her post at Libri’s request and posted this too.
Libri – Bookline has asked me to delete my two posts related to them. To find out, I see, “smart” can not only be “depressed” but also indulgent, I do this gesture in a spirit of peace. I would quote a few lines from my book, which has disappeared from the stores and the charts, to what I have discovered about happiness and wisdom: without allowing ourselves to be oppressed, but through conscience we overcome the frustrating situation ”.
As the Index has already written, the
Libri was able to remove the authors’ books from their shelves because, starting February 1, they will publish their volumes with a publisher called Open Books along with many other previously libris authors.
Ádám Halmos, founder of Libri, and András Bücher, former director of public relations at Libri, will also participate in the operation and management of Open Books Invest Kft.
In this regard, Ádám Halmos, one of the founding owners of Open Books, confirmed to Index that as soon as an official signal is received about the demand from readers and commercial for the works they represent, they will be made available to booksellers immediately.
He writes on the Open Books FB page: “We are proud that authors of great importance, both nationally and internationally, have entrusted us with the care of their books, who have inspired millions with their writings, discoveries and work in support of building the world. .
After February 1, the works of exceptional thinkers such as
- Albert-László Barabási,
- Vilmos Csányi,
- Edith Eva Eger,
- Péter Gárdos,
- András Kepes,
- Dr. Gábor Máté,
- You are Ernő Rubik
- Philip Zimbardo.
According to the Index (not Libri’s), the contract for Kepes’ book is still to publish the first 45,000 copies of Libri, and then go to another publisher, in this case Open Books, but until all 45,000 copies are sold out. , no more versions can be started and this may result in a loss to the author.
Libri has requested a correction to the Index article with the following text:
- We mistakenly state: “The appearance of the new publisher and the departure of the old one from Libib may be due to the fact that the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation (MCC) became a minority owner of the Libri-Bookline Group.”
- We wrongly said: “Libri withdrew from circulation the list of books by Edith Eva Eger, a Holocaust survivor psychologist.”
- We wrongly claimed that Libri had taken the authors’ books off her shelves.
In addition to rebuttals, Libri reported the following with the Index.
“In order to maintain or protect the business interests of Libri’s business partners, in particular their authors, Librin does not have the legal opportunity to provide specific information on the matter. Currently, all the works of the two authors are available on the Libri network of bookstores, The decision ebook, The gift both in print and e-book format, The stupid happy and the depressed smart and can be purchased in e-book form. For purely technical or production reasons, a book may not be available for a short period of time, but even in this temporary situation, it can be reserved and will be available to anyone interested in the Libri network as soon as it is available. “.
Libri informed the Index that
respects the fact that an author does not wish to cooperate with the publisher on his own initiative,
in this case, you no longer have the right to publish the works. In such cases, it optimizes existing stocks so that the necessary transition can be clean and easy in all cases.
