German Bookstore Sparks Literary Debate by Banning 'Spiegel' Bestseller Stickers
A bookstore in Moers, Germany, named Barbara Buchhandlung, has sparked a heated debate after removing 'Spiegel' bestseller stickers from books, dubbing them 'ars***wigs of literature'. The post received over 230 comments, dividing opinion.
Barbara Buchhandlung, known for its unconventional stance, posted an Instagram image of peeled-off 'Spiegel' stickers. The bookstore owner, Olzog, criticized these custom stickers for not reflecting current sales figures. Olzog believes in relying on individual recommendations rather than mass-produced stickers for customer guidance.
The move sparked a polarizing discussion. Customers praised Barbara Buchhandlung's action, appreciating their unique approach. However, some authors expressed incomprehension and criticism. The 'Buchmarkt', which markets the 'Spiegel' stickers, was also mentioned in the debate.
The 'Spiegel' bestseller stickers, once considered a mark of prestige, now find themselves at the center of a literary debate. Barbara Buchhandlung's bold stance has sparked a conversation about the role of such stickers in the book industry, with customers and authors alike weighing in on the issue.
