To be honest, its very poor recently. We've been running for 8 years, importing from the UK but since Covid, have seen very little sales. There are now far too many people here selling very cheap Chinese copies so we can't compete on price. I do think that all traditional booksellers are experiencing problems but in Thailand, locally written novels are still very popular as is gay romance which has a huge following amongst both the straight and gay reading communities. At least with online channels, it doesn't take much work.

That's what I thought. Thanks for sharing the picture and your story. There are a lot of writers and a lot of information on line. It seems to sell books today takes some sort of following.

You hit the nail on the head. The 'fan' scene for local Thai novelists is incredible. They do online giveaways, advance free pages of their new works and there a huge collectible market. Real cult following !
Thanks again for dropping by :-)
