读4月22日出的718期《文摘报》,得知新华书店1989年库存图书已达21亿多册。北京市各区店的库存都不少,有些店已经不敢接受新书了。库存21亿多册书,按我国人口算,连婴孩算在内,每人有两本书。这个数字不能不使人吃惊,更不能不使人要问一问库存的是些什么书?是必要的备货,还是卖不掉的积压?积压了多少资金?花费了多少纸?作为一个读者,我还有一个问题,为什么想买的书又不能买到呢?以前常听说,出书难、买书难,看来还有一个卖书难。三个“难”到底“难”在哪个关节上呢? Read the April 7 issue of the 718 “Digest News”, that Xinhua Bookstore 1989 stock books reached more than 2.1 billion. Beijing stores in all districts are many, some stores have not accepted the new book. More than 2.1 billion books stock, according to our population, even the baby count, each has two books. This figure must not be surprising, but also make people want to ask what is the stock inventory? Is the necessary stocking, or can not sell the backlog? How much backlog of funds? How much paper? As a reader, I still have a question, why do I want to buy a book and can not buy it? I used to hear that it was hard to buy a book, and that it was hard to buy a book. Three “hard ” in the end “hard ” in which joints?
