Sergey Rubis Biography

According to Mr. Rubis, the pirate use of books causes real damage to the publishing business. This is the first law in Russia to affect the overwhelming number of Internet users and limit freedom on the network. Unfortunately, the law did not take into account the threatening the scale of the pirate use of books and music - do you follow the book novelties? After all, I am not only a reader.

Books are my job. I regularly study sales ratings, read book reviews and news. It is important for me to know what books are published today, what literature and how to sell, what readers give preference, otherwise I simply can not navigate the market. We often exchange opinions about what we read. As for those genres that my editors do not release - professional literature, books on psychology, personal growth and raising children - here I mainly listen to the opinion of professionals - literary agents, my colleagues in publishing business.

Or are the criteria vary depending on the genre - art, journalism, business, educational, children's, etc.? But the most important thing in any book, in my opinion, is not to be boring. If the book does not capture, does not catch, then I personally will not read such a book. And the division of books into correct or wrong, good or bad I think is fundamentally wrong.

Different people like different books. The literature that I like, may not like someone else, and vice versa. As a professional, I want people to just read. And our task is to provide readers with diverse literature for every taste and any preferences. Source of information, a form of leisure, data archive, status gift, something else? Only the data archive function, perhaps, with the development of the Internet, fades into the background.

The book is multifaceted. It can develop, form, be a form of leisure, etc. It all depends on the book and on a specific reader. What do you see her? Especially significant changes have occurred in recent years. New formats arose - electronic books, interactive applications, etc. The content of books is also reflected in which new problems, events and realities that did not exist yesterday are reflected.

Some directions go more to multimedia. In addition, various publications with disks or audio applications have appeared. But the traditional paper format is not inferior to its position. In general, today a book publishing, in my opinion, is one of the most dynamically developing industries. I think any person related to book business will answer this question the same way.

If you answer from the position of the reader, then the book is a unique phenomenon that allows a person in the process of reading to be alone with his thoughts and feelings, as well as the thoughts and feelings of the person who wrote this book. And this is worth a lot in our bustle time. If so, how? I am sure that the state should not determine which books and which authors need to be published, but to create a legislative framework that protects and helps industries, to introduce tax benefits, reduce lease rates for book trade enterprises, as done in many countries of the world, the state must if people in our country continue to read.

First of all, I repeat, the legislative framework is important. Today, the issue of electronic piracy and copyright protection on the Internet is very acute. Piracy not only interferes with the development of the industry, but also threatens its further development. According to our data, there are nine illegal downloads on one legally downloaded book. And this situation is damaged not only to publishers and authors, but also to the state.

The book publishing today refers to the real sector of the economy. The vast majority of publishers in the industry are domestic. Around the book publishing, many different enterprises are concentrated. These are not only publishers, but also printing houses, logistics and book -trade companies, etc. And if the industry begins to die, then dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of people, can simply be left without work.

I am not trying to condensate the colors. The fall of circulations due to piracy is a well-known fact. In such things, the state is obliged to take part, protecting domestic manufacturers, which are said so much and which we are. We do not ask for something unusual and supernatural for ourselves. Industries need anti -pirate laws that exist in the entire civilized world. Even when it is reading in the framework of my work.

Because work for me is also a pleasure. I buy many books in the publishing house, since we have a fairly wide range of very good literature. If I need books of other publishers, as I said, I buy them in stores. But I try to do this in the “New Book” or “Bookwood”, because it seems to me that in this way I help these book networks a little included in our holding. What are you experiencing?

Would you like to stay in the store or buy a specific book and run away? But I rather go to each campaign in a book from a professional point of view.I definitely see how the books are laid out, how they are presented in the departments, what and how is sold. And, of course, if I am in the store, I will definitely buy something. When I am abroad, I also certainly go to local bookstores.

I see how they work, what books are sold, how the process is organized. I am always interested in how our foreign colleagues approach work with a book, calculations, advertising, merchandising. This is an integral part of work for me. Today there are no problems with this. If the book you need is not in paper form, then it can be found in electronic format. If for some reason the search was unsuccessful, then there is still such a service as a seal on demand.

In the end, if you really want to find some book, and for some reason it does not succeed, there are also libraries.

Problems may only arise with rare publications, but this is rather a collectible story. I like the aesthetics of the paper book. Like the smell, tactile sensations. Of course, I can read electronic books, but if we talk about pleasure and preferences, this is definitely a paper book. If we are talking about the time when I read, then this is mainly the weekend and vacation. I read a lot in English before, but now I threw it.

Currently, I’m starting to play my tongue to refresh in my memory, and soon I will again read in English. So the vast majority make up paper books. When were you or your loved ones for the last time in the library? The last time in the library was ten years ago, and even when they gave a gift to something from their home book collection. I sincerely think that all books are good.

And I respect people who can write a book, because I, for example, cannot and can not. And I understand how hard it is. Maybe someone considers it differently, but for me it is. The “bad” can only be attributed to books that violate the legislation. Otherwise, I am sure that it is not necessary to condemn someone for certain genre preferences and cultivate reader snobbery in themselves.

Any book will find its reader. We are all different, and we all have different interests, needs, different education, finally. Our task, as publishers, repeat, to release books that can satisfy the tastes and needs of as many people as possible. She hasn't come out yet. The working name "Last Dawn". A very good book. Before that I read Batman Apollo Victor Pelevin.

In general, I want to note that I am a happy person and reader. Indeed, within the framework of only one of my editorial office, so many interesting books are published, we cooperate with so many outstanding authors that even by reading only what we release, you can satisfy your reader's hunger. Secrets of education from Paris. " I have three children, so I am very interested in literature on raising children.

Kristensen on business and making decisions in new areas of activity, as well as the book of D. Granin “My Lieutenant”. The format of the book may change-from paper to electronic, the author, of course, can independently distribute his works on the Internet, but at the same time editorial and public processes are absolutely necessary. A professional editor is primarily an assistant writer.
