About Book Production
in the Czech Republic in 2006
In 2003, nearly 16,500 books were published in the Czech Republic, thus achieving a new record. Thereafter this number fell
into gradual decline, giving the impression that a new record was
unlikely. Nevertheless, the 2006 figures for book production in
the Czech Republic produced a pleasant shock: the new record
of 2006 exceeded the 2006 total by more than 500 titles, and
compared to 2005 production rose by an impressive 11%. Nevertheless, the beginning of the year gave no grounds for any
great optimism.
Publishers were speaking of decreased sales; booksellers
were complaining about stagnating turnovers. Nonetheless,
the unfavourable first half of the year was followed by the satisfaction of the autumn months. From September and October, customers were paying more frequent visits to bookshops. And, more
important still, they were buying books. Total book production for
the year 2006 is breathtaking. An absolute record was achieved
against any other year since the social and economic Changes
of November 1989, after which point private companies were
again allowed to publish and sell books.
INTRODUCTION
It remains the case that the figures relating to the Czech book
market do not disclose what many strategists and economists
would find the most interesting: i.e the total turnover and profit
and the performances of individual companies. Unfortunately,
such data typically remains taboo, with publishers and booksellers reluctant to disclose it for reasons of competition. Other existing tools, such as the Commercial Register as it is available on
the internet, are not transparent enough.
The tension in the book industry is evident. The struggle
between publishers and booksellers who view one another as
competition continues. While larger companies grow stronger,
smaller ones often face existential problems. There is therefore
a need for us to be cautious over what we are applauding. As
the number of very large book publishers (i.e. those capable of
bringing out at least one hundred new titles or editions each year)
declined in comparison with 2005, the record was broken by work
produced by a lesser number of book producers in general, providing convincing evidence that the Czech book industry is becoming concentrated in fewer hands.
EXACT FIGURES STILL UNDISCLOSED
Although the results are not yet significantly material,
campaigns and events focused on promoting books and reading
are obviously beginning to bear fruit. The largest event for
BOOK PROMOTION EVENTS BEAR FRUIT
GRAND BIBLIO
[email protected]
the promotion of books and reading among children is held by
public libraries under the name “Night with Andersen”. It returned
in March 2007 for the seventh time, with the involvement of more
than 500 libraries. The event has spread beyond the borders of
the Czech Republic, and now includes libraries from Slovakia,
Poland and Slovenia. Notable and systematic work in this field is
carried out by the BookWorld (Svět knihy) company through its
“Growing with the Book” campaign; in 2006, this campaign gained the support of the Ministry of Culture. There were also other
initiatives, such as “The Czech Republic Reads to its Children”
and websites dedicated to literature for children.
For the adult public, the Magnesia Litera book awards
have attracted the greatest interest. These are by far the most
visible awards for high-quality literature in the Czech Republic,
tending to overshadow the ambitious state prizes for literature
and literary translation, as well as many other awards. The Litera
society, which prepares the awards show and brings it to
the screen for Česká televize (Czech Television), reports very
encouraging results from booksellers with regard to sales of
winning and nominated titles.
Publishing books for relatively few readers on a relatively
small territory in what is not a world language, is a demanding
business which will for ever be beset by problems. Nonetheless,
one has to bear in mind that the conditions for book publishing
are harder still in certain other countries, where the habit of reading and building a home library is not at all as strong as it is in
the Czech Republic. But surveys on reading habits confirm
the world-wide trend that the number of active readers declines
along with age.
With its 17,019 published titles in 2006, the Czech Republic
ranks amongst the top publishing countries. When this figure is
set alongside the number of inhabitants, the Czech Republic is
No. 1 in the world. It should be stated, however, that this fact
says nothing about the quality of the titles produced.

a u t u m n 2007s p r i n g 2008
Last year saw a change from the practice of publishing
mostly new titles. Of the total of more than 17,000 published
titles, new editions comprised almost a quarter (4239 titles);
the same index meant one ninth only in 2005. This summary is
again based on records processed by the National Library of
the Czech Republic, i.e. on national bibliographical data prepared
on the basis of copies provided mandatorily. The high number of
book titles published in 2006 was underlined by the fact that
the declining average cost of books was compensated by Czech
publishers by increasing the number of titles published in order
to maintain the same financial turnover volume. Last year, 1314
publishing entities published at least one book in the Czech
Republic. (In 2005, the number was 1356.)
These statistics also include data on so-called non-market
production, which does not reach bookshops for the general public. Such titles consist in particular of special-purpose or regional
editions, the work of government institutions and a great number
of titles published by universities and educational organizations
and institutions of central government. We can estimate that
these make up approximately one half of the total number of
published book titles. The other half, i.e. approximately 8500
titles, is on sale in the general bookseller network.
In 2006, one-tenth of books produced in the Czech
Republic did not include an assigned ISBN number. Most of
these titles were produced by government organizations and
institutions for special-purpose publications.
As of 31 December 2006, a total of 3908 publishers were registered in the Czech Republic (see TABLE II). Last year 154 new
publishing entities were established, and roughly the same number announced the termination of their activities. We estimate
that about half of the publishers registered do not publish actively, even though their registration is retained: the national ISBN
agency – in accordance with the methodology applicable internationally – cannot exclude any entity from the lists. This means
that a complete summary of publishers active in the field since
November 1989 is available. Since that time, approximately 1000
publishers have officially ended their book-publishing activities.
Compared to other EU countries, book publishing in
the Czech Republic is to a large extent still apportioned among
a high number of publishers, though a decisive share of Czech

book production is provided by a limited number only. In 2006
more than one hundred titles were produced by only thirty-three
publishers, from which almost one half (fifteen) are publishers of
universities and institutions of central government. More than
twenty titles, which may serve as a criterion for regular and continuous publishing, were produced by a total of 170 publishers in 2006.
This represents an increase of approximately one tenth compared
with 2005, when the number was 156. These indices have stabilized in recent years. With regard to the fact that exact data on
the numbers of copies of specific titles are not available, we cannot
make an objective estimate of the real share claimed by leading
publishers in the total volume of production and what remains for
the smaller and very small ones, which are the most numerous.

TABLE III shows the largest book producers in the Czech Republic by the number of book titles published in 2006. Though this
criterion is relatively mechanical, it has a definite value and is not
without interest; it gives at least a brief overview of the turnover
of the companies. On the other hand, it does not tell us anything
about the quality of the books and the editorial demands they
make. Unfortunately, this overview does not provide us with other
precious indices, such as the total number of copies or the profit
of the companies, which would permit an objective quantitative
evaluation of their real position in the Czech book market.
The number of titles published in a year, by which publishers are
ranked in TABLE III, includes new titles only (not reprints).
TOP LISTS OF THE LARGEST PUBLISHERS
As publishers of universities and institutions of central
government typically publish a high number of titles on specialist
topics in relatively low numbers of copies, these publishers are
shown in a separate table (TABLE IV). As with the previous table,
the number of titles published in a year does not include reprints,
only new titles.
The volume of production for this type of publishers
is primarily defined according to the needs of a given school,
the meeting of the needs of the government or parliament and
the final processing of statistical surveys. Nonetheless, in certain
cases there is broad interest in the work of university publishers
in the general book market. In many cases such books are
prevented from being available in bookshops for the general
public by the different economic principles according to which
their production is calculated and their prices are set, etc.
The structure of Czech book production has not changed significantly in recent years. Last year, book production in the Czech
Republic was dominated by books in Czech – with an 87% share
(14,832 titles). Another 932 titles were published in Czech with
parts in another language; in this segment, there was a relatively
high increase in comparison with previous years. (Against 2004,
the increase was by 109 titles, against 2005, 183 titles.) A total
of 207 multilingual publications were published last year. As
to books from Czech publishing houses in foreign languages,
English was again very dominant: its share again represented
4% of total production.
The number of titles published last year by Czech publishers is given by foreign language in TABLE V. Slovak has again
shown a huge increase: the number of publications in Slovak
has increased from 28 in 2004 to nearly four times that amount
last year (104). The statistics also report the publishing of four
titles in Chinese, two in Vietnamese, and one in each of Japanese,
Korean, Norwegian, Danish and Modern Hebrew.

The share claimed by fiction of books produced last year
remained at the level of previous years. It reached almost 22%
(3746 titles), although this figure rose again in absolute terms.
A significant increase was registered in the production of literature for children, both in absolute terms and in the share of total
production – 424 titles and 7.5%. In 2005, the share was 5.6%; in
2003 it failed to reach 5%. The share of school and university
textbooks in total book production remained at approximately
11%. Nevertheless, this particular segment shows growth in
terms of the number of published titles. A summary of the last six
years is given in TABLE VI.
In 2006, translated works accounted for approximately one third
(nearly 31% - see TABLE VII) of the total volume of Czech book
production. From this point of view, the Czech Republic, along
with the Baltic States and Hungary, produces the highest proportion of translated works in the world. This is a logical result of
the fact that Czech is not a world language; by the publishing
of translations it opens the door for other, more numerous,
language cultures .
Last year, Czech publishers gave their readers translated
works in 43 languages, including some which are no longer
spoken, such as classical Latin, Old Czech and Old Slovak, and
languages with few users, such as Indian Nahuati, Coptic,
Sanskrit, Bengalese and Tibetan.
The identity of the three most-translated languages in
the Czech Republic has remained unchanged since 1990.
The dominance of English continues: it accounted for almost half
of all published translations. Compared to 2005 the number of
translations from the English was higher by 817 titles, i.e. by
more than 18%. The number of translations from the German
also rose – by more than one fifth as against 2005, with translations from the French reaching approximately the same level.
Translations from the Spanish are approaching the number of
translations from the French, having achieved stable growth in
recent years. By last year, Spanish was the fourth most-translated language in the Czech Republic; the number grew more than
four times against the figure for 2005 (from 43 to 179).
Slovak is gradually reaching the level of Spanish; it is
the most-translated Slavic language in the Czech Republic.
The rate of growth in terms of the number of translations from
the Slovak is impressive – it has increased 5.5 times since 2001.
Since the split of the state of Czechoslovakia and the accession
of both new states to the EU, the interest of Czechs in events in
Slovakia has shown a steady increase. It is less common for
Czechs to read Slovak books in the original than it is for Slovaks
to read books in Czech. Translations from the Russian or the Polish
maintained their positions last year, though their numbers showed a slight decrease. Translations from other Slavic languages
are significantly less frequent in the Czech Republic; these
account for only about twenty titles a year, and 2006 was no
exception in this regard. (Twenty-two literary works were translated

from other Slavic literatures, the majority of these from the Serbian
– twelve, as compared to five in 2005.)
Languages from other large cultural areas which in 2006
provided Czech bookshops with most translated titles, include
(data from 2005 are given in brackets for comparison): Italian –
86 (80), which has thus become the sixth most-translated foreign
language in the Czech Republic; Dutch 43 (23); Scandinavian
languages (Swedish – 20 (16), Norwegian – 11 (6), Danish – 6 (10)
and Finnish – 6 (6)). Twelve titles were also translated from the
Hungarian and seven from the Portuguese. Exact figures for
works translated from foreign languages in the last six years are
shown in TABLE VII.
Over the past twelve months – since a similar summary was
published in Czech Book World News – the conditions, legal
framework, incentives and state support affecting the production
of books in the Czech Republic have not changed significantly.
Fortunately, the interest of book buyers and enthusiasts in
the product has not changed either. We can only regret that
the field of literature and book culture in the Czech Republic still
has very few sponsors and benefactors.
CONCLUSION
When evaluating the state of the book industry in the Czech
Republic and its characteristic trends, we can identify the following:
1. The continuation of the hard struggle for small entities in
the face of large and strong competition, especially apparent
in the case of companies emphasizing distribution and sale to
end customers; still affecting publishers, too.
2. Retail chains of the hypermarket type are backing down
slightly from their initial enthusiasm for selling books. In certain
cases, they have started limiting the area given over to the selling of books. Customers, especially those who know about
books, tend to prefer traditional bookshops, where they can
obtain other services and information related to books.
3. The profiling of publishing houses for specific segments of
book production has basically been completed. Attempts
at stepping outside the limited and well-established areas
of production usually provide rather odd results, though these
still occur on a regular basis.
6—7
great support from central government. Unfortunately, sponsors and other investors from the private sector in the Czech
Republic still consider the book industry insufficiently attractive and thus their support is relatively insignificant.
9. The alarming results of surveys on reading carried out among
children and young people are closely related to the previous
point.
10. The same as mentioned in point 8 unfortunately applies to
the cultural export, i.e., an efficient system for the promotion
of Czech literature abroad has yet to be established. (This is
not the case in other advanced countries.)
4. There is still a remarkably high number of book distributors
on a relatively small territory when this is compared to the
book industries of more advanced countries.
5. More and more, large companies are employing more
progressive methods of keeping records and using computers and software for preparing books, sales and ranges;
here the average small bookseller often loses points against
his competitors, but there are exceptions to this.
6. Book sales on the internet are growing, but percentage increases show that these are built on a much lower base and that
there will most likely be no massive growth as optimists have
predicted. Practices in other countries serve to support this
impression.
7. Prague is still the heart of the Czech Republic in terms of
book sales. The capital’s share is estimated at 60–65%.
8. Compared to countries with more advanced book industries,
the Czech Republic still has relatively weak campaigns for
the promotion of books and reading, and these attract no

Nonetheless, interest in books in the Czech Republic is holding
up. Here is the best proof of this: the Czech Republic now holds
seven book exhibitions on a regular basis; the number of book
prizes is growing (it currently stands at around 40!); more new,
well-equipped bookshops are being opened than is the case in
other countries.

THE FRAUS PUBLISHING HOUSE
The FRAUS Publishing House is the
largest publishing house in the Czech
Republic aimed at producing textbooks,
dictionaries and other educational
materials for primary and secondary
schools of our educational system.
We sell over 1 000 000 text books
and dictionaries every year. We
launch 80–100 new titles annually and
thus are one of the biggest publishing
houses in the Czech Republic. Our
range of products not only includes
books, but also cassettes, audio CDs,
video and multimedia CD-ROMs.
The FRAUS Publishing House was
founded in 1991. Over that relatively
short period of time, our company has
become one of the market leaders in
the field of foreign language textbooks
in the Czech Republic.
For more than ten years, The FRAUS
Publishing House has also been
releasing quality bilingual dictionaries.
Since 2002, we have broadened our
offer of the books for primary and
lower secondary schools. We develop
materials for modern languages (Czech
included), natural and social sciences.
We intend to create a unique system of
textbooks and supplementary materials
for primary and secondary schools. The
on-line support at our web pages is
an inseparable part to it.
Our offer is enlarged by our hobby and
non-fiction books. We release books
on nature, history, industry, books by
regional authors etc.
The FRAUS Publishing House is a regular member of the Association of
Czech Booksellers and Publishers
(Svaz českých knihkupců a nakladatelů) and participates actively in
its activities. Since 2005, The FRAUS
Publishing House has been the representative of the Czech Republic in the
European Educational Publishers'
Group, where each member state of
the Council of Europe is entitled to
have only one representative (more
at www.eepg.org).

Ten Years of BookWorld
Looking back on the company's ten-year history with Dana Kalinová, its managing director
1) Ten years ago – on 27 August
1997, to be precise – the Association of Czech Booksellers and
Publishers founded Svět knihy
s.r.o. [BookWorld Ltd.], whose
task would be to organize and
hold a book fair in the Czech Republic. Mrs Kalinová, you were
appointed this company's first
head, and you and your small
team of colleagues have given it its shape for the whole of the ten
years. When you look back on those years, what feelings do you have?
n I have always felt a strong sense of responsibility towards those
members of the board of the ACBP who first approached me with
the offer of the job; they placed their trust in me and gave me a great
deal of support from the very beginning to make my work as easy as
possible. And after so many years, I feel able to emphasize the splendid
efforts of all those who work or have worked on the preparations for
the fair and the company's other activities; these have served to bring
the name BookWorld to the fore, and it is now well known abroad as
well as in the Czech Republic.
2) What were your early expectations of this highly complex job, and
where did you look for inspiration?
n I didn't have a very clear idea of what was ahead of me. At the time I
was approached by the board of the ACBP I had worked as a librarian
for many years; I had no education in economics or marketing. I know
that I had an intuitive grasp of what I would need to do, but had I not
had the opportunity to learn from book fairs abroad I would never have
managed my work for an international clientele. At the beginning I received a lot of help from Mr Kanzelsberger, who shared with me his
knowledge of the Leipzig Book Fair. I was also inspired by the work
of the management of the Frankfurt Book Fair and that of the BIEF
(the Association of French Publishers).
3) Who and what helped you towards the conviction that you were
heading in the right direction?
n The most important thing for me has always been the opinions of exhibitors. The constructive criticism I receive from a range of experienced publishers and booksellers is of primary importance to me. I try to
keep pace with trends in other countries. Although we are not in a position to offer our clients the prospect of highly lucrative contracts –
owing to the size of our book market and its capital potential – we are
in a position to offer them high-quality services, to mediate business
contacts, to make them more visible in the Czech Republic and in other
countries, too. Many exhibitors place a high value on this care: it helps
them in the forging of stable and reliable business interests. I should
also mention here the enormous help I was given by the invitation of
Peter Weidhaas (then managing director of the Frankfurt Book Fair) to
join a group of managing directors of international book fairs from all
over the world. My colleagues from abroad are able to tell me honestly
what I am doing wrong, and to praise me for what I am doing right ... In
spite of increasing pressures of international competition we continue
to respect the ethic of a mutually beneficial working friendship.
4) The activities of BookWorld have expanded over the years. In addition to holding the Prague International Book Fair and several shows
elsewhere in the Czech Republic, for a number of years now you have
"exported" Czech books to important book shows abroad. You are
also involved in the organization of exhibitions and competitions, and
you are guarantor of the Growing with the Book campaign, among
other things. How do you manage to push these various activities
through while ensuring their honourable success?
n Of course, all the other activities were generated by the demands of
the fair and the requirements of our clients and partners. Without their
promotion abroad, Czech books and the entities active in the Czech
book market would be unable to retain the attention of professional
publics elsewhere in the world. In this age of the Internet, there is no
denying that most business between countries is performed electronically; in spite of this, meetings in person - which may not be representative of the whole profession - remain important. For this reason, in
the selection proceedings presided over each year by the Ministry of
Culture, we work hard to defend the need to hold international exhibitions: thus far, we have always succeeded in doing so. Were it not for
the support of the state we would be quite unable to hold a large fair
for the Czech book world. Our guiding principle is the maintaining of
a wide network of personal contacts, which includes experts from
Ministry departments, associations of publishers and booksellers, literary agencies, publishing houses and organizations which hold literary
festivals and book fairs, and Czech scholars. That people such as this
should attend exhibitions in the Czech Republic is important for
the professional future of everyone involved: their participation encorages the interest of publishers and agents from other countries in
what the Czech book scene has to offer. It is impossible to measure
directly the impact of their individual contributions: their resonance has
a long-term effect. One such effect is the steady interest of exhibitors
from abroad in the Prague Book Fair.
The Growing with the Book campaign came into being in reaction
to alarming statistics on Czechs and their attitudes to reading. It is our
responsibility to propagate the world of books and help it to grow.
I believe that the campaign will be joined by all those who see the negative influence being worked by an ignorance of literature on the
future of the profession and the intellectual potential of the country.
5) Do you have any surprises in store for visitors to next year's fair?
n We are always looking to come up with something interesting. I am
especially pleased with the "Love and Passion in Literature" theme: as
well as being attractive to readers it is indicative of the strength of feeling that can be evoked in the course of reading. I am looking forward
to working with colleagues from Spain as we prepare their involvement as guests of honour. I am sure the Institute of Egyptology will put
on a very interesting show. The BookWorld fair is always a great
opportunity for the media and advertisers in the promotion of all
the book-related professions.
6) Are there any new trends at book fairs abroad which you would
like to carry over to the Prague fair?
n In terms of how the fair is organized for exhibitors, we do our best –
as far as local conditions allow – to manage things in ways familiar to
our clients from their experience of other countries. Many new fairs
have appeared across the world recently, some of which receive such
generous support from their states or city councils that it is very difficult for us to compete with them. At the same time fairs for the general
public have highly attractive accompanying programmes, which draw
in more visitors. The non-commercial part of the Prague fair demands
a heavy investment; many of my counterparts abroad receive far greater support in this. For this reason one of our most important tasks is
to maintain the position of the Prague fair as one of the biggest events
in the books and literature calendar of the Czech Republic. We need
to attract the right level of attention from organizations and individuals
active in Czech culture and education.
7) What is your greatest wish for the next ten years?
n My wish is that the book-related professions here should continue to
develop and that the BookWorld fair should aid them in this development
– with the result that books acquire new readers and the good name of
Czech literature at home and abroad continues to gain in strength.

book of the year is a translation.
A surprise decision by the Magnesia Litera jury.
The winner of the main award of the Magnesia Litera book prize
(awarded April 2007) is the novel Simion Litnicul by contemporary
Romanian writer Petru Cimpoesu.
For the first time in its six-year history the jury
chose its winner from the works nominated
in the Translations category. (The winner is
chosen from nominations declared in eight
categories.) It is not, however, the first time a translated work has been
victorious: in the very first year of the awards the overall winner was Böhmische Dörfer by German journalist Jürgen Serke (nominated for Publishing Excellence); the 2005 winner was Jan Novák's So Far So Good,
which was written originally in English and translated into Czech with the
assis-tance of the author. The contemporary novel Simion Litnicul was
acclaimed by the jury for its faithful yet metaphorical depiction of post-communist realities in Romania, which in many ways are not very different
from those of the Czech Republic. As Cimpoesu was unable to attend
the awards ceremony, the prize and a financial award of 200,000 crowns
(ca. 7000 Euro) was conferred on the work's translator Jiří Našinec.
The Litera in the new Literary Journalism category was awarded to
Petra Dvořáková for her debut work Transfigured Dreams, a series of
interviews with Christians who practise their faith both within and outside Church structures. This is Dvořáková's first work in any form: prior
to its appearance her work also remained unpublished in periodicals,
with the notable exception of those extracts from Transfigured Dreams
which appeared in magazines. The prize for the best work of prose –
awarded after a secret ballot by a jury of thirty-five members – went to
Radka Denemarková for her novel Money from Hitler, a description of
a woman's difficult, post-1990 return to her native village; the buildings
and land which belonged to her family have been divided up among
the local population following her own persecution by the Nazis and
then the communists. The Silent Region by Stanislav Dvorský won
the award for the best collection of poetry.

Jan Burian, moderator
of the gala evening.
In the Educational Literature category, the prize was awarded to biologist Jaroslav Flegr for his Frozen Evolution, a work which addresses
the hypothesis that evolution is finite in certain animal species. The prize
for Publishing Excellence went to the OIKOYMENH publishing house
for its History of Philosophy series, while the best newcomer award was
conferred – from a field of three – on David Zábranský for his novel Any
Beach But This. The Readers' Award (taken from a survey of 12,000
readers) went to Jaroslav Rudiš for the novel Grand Hotel; an honorary
Litera for his contribution to Czech literature was conferred on literary
historian Vladimír Justl for his life-long tending of the work of poet Vladimír Holan. It has become traditional that the winner of the main Magnesia
Litera prize receives a financial award. The main purpose of the whole
awards programme and its live television broadcast is to promote an
interest among the general public in high-quality books and thus to support sales. In some cases, winning titles from previous years have recorded a fourfold increase in sales within six months of the announcement
of the awards. Awards are conferred by the Litera civic association,
which is composed of members of all Czech associations and societies
for literature and related fields. The principal sponsor of the Magnesia
Litera awards is the Carlsbad Mineral Water company.
Books of a new quality from
Printing House FINIDR
Despite the fact that typography has a several hundred year history there is constantly something to
develop and improve. Last year FINIDR, the largest
book printers in the Czech Republic and an important international supplier, invested more than 200
million Czech Crowns into new technology.
This give us the opportunity to print the books on
a worldwide level based on the most up-to-date
trends. The world is now dominated by new binding
requirements. It is fashionable to have covers made
from unconventional materials or with the cuts.
Modern books does not have sharp corners, but
they can be rounded, and they may have a CD or
DVD attached to thema bookmark or a ribbon. For
most of the books this is not a problem for FINIDR.
We can produce modern and high quality books
using our technology. A new book perfect binding
line provides new types of binding, e.g. Swiss brochures or Ottabind. These bindings are stronger,
more flexible, and make only a slight part in the
total weight of the book. The color rendering is obvious, to which the clients of FINIDR are used to.
Therefore it is not surprising that FINIDR in its twelve-year history has already produced more than
one hundred million books.
