The article describes the directions of distribution of books for children in the Eastern regions of Russia that have appeared in the last decade. Based on a combination of landscape-reconstructing principles, surveys, and comparative typological analysis, the article presents data that expand previously studied aspects of the functioning of the main channels for the sale of books for children in the Siberian-Far Eastern region. It is shown that books for children are the largest segment of the Russian book market, which has been growing since 2008. At the regional level, they are widely presented in all book distribution channels: bookselling networks and independent stores; online stores; book departments of supermarkets (non-core retail); kiosks and stalls; book fairs. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current trends in the distribution of books for children in the region. Positive trends typical for the children book market in the Siberian-far Eastern region are identified. They are: the activity of children book supermarkets, the appearance of independent small stores of club-backstage format, the organization of specialized children Internet projects; increasing the importance of regional book exhibitions, fairs, festivals and holidays in the distribution of books for children; projects support by major Russian patrons. The significance of the study of new practices for the distribution of literature for children and youth in the region is determined by their influence on the formation of a new conceptual model for the popularization of reading, based on the idea of culture as a powerful lever of socio-economic development of territories.

Definition Of

Based on the analysis of publications of scholars and book practitioners the author formulates main features and definition of the bookselling network as a set of wholesale, wholesale-retail and retail bookselling enterprises under common management (a single management center and unified management principles), which sell the similar book and accompanying assortment of goods and services for personal and public (library) consumption to get profit. The world largest, having no analogues to date, national bookselling network was the unified state centralized system of the USSR State Printing Committee, which included 3,763 stores in 1988. After its disintegration in 1996-2000, the federal, regional and local bookselling networks started forming both in the center of Russia and in regions on other principles and in other ways. The phenomenon of the Russian book market at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries was a wholesale and retail book-selling company «Top-book» (1995-2011). The company built a system of logistics centers, developed and implemented various formats of the retail distribution network. By 2010, the «Top-Book» had over 500 stores in more than 230 Russian cities and sold above 3 million books a month. At the same time, the company's unprecedented pace of development required organizational changes: improving manageability, optimizing the budget expenditure part by reducing costs. The impossibility to solve the problems led the company to bankruptcy in 2011. The largest federal bookstore network enterprise in Russia by 2017 is the integrated retail network «Chitai-gorod» - «Bukvoed» over 528 enterprises in 167 cities of Russia. There are 55 stores in 21 cities of Siberia and the Far East. But the most significant for the regional book market is the activity of bookselling associations established in Siberia and the Far East. Mostly there are networks created by booksellers in the region, but publishing and book-selling holdings («Bichik», «Apex», «Novaya kniga», etc.) form networks to sale their own printed products as well.

Late Renaissance

In the mid-seventeenth century, as the first full atlas of East Asia became available on the European book market, a dramatic shift took place in textual and visual representations of the Far East. The atlas, titled “Novus Atlas Sinensis” (1655), was the product of a cooperation between Joan Blaeu, who headed one of Europe's foremost commercial publishing houses, and Martino Martini, a prominent Jesuit missionary to China. This study shows how the Martini-Blaeu atlas thoroughly challenged the worldview of late Renaissance audiences by tracing and reconstructing a series of displacements that facilitated its production process.

Middle Easterners

Not long ago a MESA Bulletin reader objected to introducing coverage of the Internet, saying that there were few Middle East studies online. However, you do find Middle Easterners. With increasingly accessible technology, there are thousands of websites that are added to listservs and now supplemented by blogs from, by, and about Middle Easterners. The trend has been from witness to participant. Yet the subjective register of the Internet in Middle East and North Africa is often a new example of exceptionalism: less free than in the West, less extensive than in the Far East, slow to grow and stunted when it does, with limited access and high costs that confine it demographically and culturally, not to mention politically. That is also what most comparative measures tell, but those do not measure what is happening. Early interest a decade ago has subsequently faded—or phased—into something more interesting than another story of absences.

The article characterizes book distribution of regional publishers evidently for Siberia and the Far East. It states the significant difference in the patterns of book distribution of central and regional publishing houses; identifies key directions of book distribution: book assignment and book trade. University book publishing as the most important player of the regional book market distributes its products without applying book trade to provide the education process. Book assignment is typical for publishers working «under the order». Regional publishers use the traditional book trade in two ways: by creating own book-selling enterprises (chain stores, newsstands; small book-selling objects (stands, trays), Internet shopping), and by using the existing book-selling infrastructure (traditional and Internet book-stores, libraries, fairs). Overall, production marketing is the main problem of regional publishing business, and gaining a prosperous experience of book distribution determines the viability and success of the book business enterprises.

The introduction of modern digital solutions in various sectors of the economy and public life objectively affects the indicators of territorial development. In this article, the issue of assessing the prospects and trends of changes in the spatial organization of the national economy in the conditions of digitalization is actualized. To analyze the digital space the author used the indicator "Proportion of population who used the Internet to order goods and (or) services in the total population", for the analysis of economic space we used adjusted GRP per capita. Spatial econometrics tools were used to empirically test the hypothesis of the relationship between digital and economic heterogeneity of regional development. As a result of calculations of global Moran indices using the boundary matrix of weights, a statistically significant, positive spatial autocorrelation among neighboring regions was revealed, i.e. it was proved that clustering processes take place. Visual interpretation of the results in the form of constructed spatial scattering diagrams and geographical maps clearly proved that the population of regions with high per capita GRP is an active user of online stores, and vice versa. Additionally, the analysis of interregional indices of digitalization for 2014-2018 proved that, first, tendencies will be strengthened by increasing the proportion of the population using the Internet for online shopping, on the one hand, and increasing supply companies of distance trade on the other; second, the processes of expansion of online sales will have a positive impact on business development, and to increase the GRP of the territory. Thus, in the course of this study, it was revealed that digitalization is a significant factor in the spatial and economic development of both individual regions and the entire country.
