While the rise in paper, energy and transport costs has mechanically increased the price of books, the company Dilicom has updated its “Book Price” application so that no one is fooled. Booksellers and readers could feel concerned.
The price of a book is set by the publisher, based on copyright, manufacturing costs, distribution and distribution costs, as well as its overheads. In fineit is prohibited by law to sell at a loss, and the price is one of the mandatory information that a book must display on its back cover.
The problem is that with the recent inflation of raw materials and transport, the price of books sometimes varies rapidly. Booksellers are also expected to change the labels of their books on sale so that the correct price is displayed, but this is often a daunting task.
This is where “The Book Price” comes in: “The application allows you to check the public price of a book. To obtain the price of a book, you can scan the barcode on the book or manually enter the ISBN reference consisting of 13 digits”, explains Dilicom. A practical way to check if the sales price displayed is indeed the current price.
On the one hand, booksellers are sure not to lose money. On the other hand, customers can also use it to check that booksellers are not taking advantage of inflation to justify excessively high prices.
