Books are merely investments

After weekend. I worked at my desk like a lamb. The wolf is not this company but this business. The worst aspect of publishers in Japan (maybe, it's not exclusively in this reasion) is that they are running hand-to-mouth affairs. Publishers have to plan and publish more books than are necessary for readers. As a result, bookstores are flooded with hogwash books. It is hard to find truly valuable contents among these. So, everyone stay away from bookstores, and the business is shrinking. Publisher might have to force more and more boring books on stores to raise cash. Publishing books is not a good old honest business now. Books seem to be merely investments for recent publisher. More precisely, publishers are in debts to the wholesale store. They pay off their debts every month by publishing new books, but they fall in another debt meanwhile.

Meantime. Who can see my broken english?
