Books selling fast in Lincoln
.yourself
Stacks of science fiction, children's
fantasy, transactional analysis and
do-it-yourself books line the walls of
Lincoln's bookstores and sell just about
as quickly as they are stocked.
Popular trends in books fail into two
general categories, which may reflect
how people face social conflicts today,
according to bookstore employes.
They say readers may either attempt
to escape their situations through
fantasy books or consciously face them
with the help of self-directional and
do-it-yourself books.
Popular books fall into both
categories, sales inventories of the
Nebraska, Logos, Miller and Paine, and
B. Dalton Bookstores indicate.
Linda Baker of the Nebraska
Bookstore said books now popular
include self-awareness and trans
actional analysis books, biographies
and books concerning houseplants,
science fiction and photography.
Watergate among sellers
Watergate and politically-based
books, children's fantasy and inspir
ational books are selling well at Miller
and Paine, manager and buyer Mary
Ann Bayley said.
Politically based books have not been
popular at Logos Bookstore, according
to employe Bob Christensen.
Although each bookstore has a mixed
market, employees agree the majority of
the clientele are students.
"To a college student, a book is a
personal item," Baker said. "They buy a
book because they really want it and
plan to keep it for a long time."
All store clerks said they noted
increasing interest in children's
literature. Even adults are becoming
interested and enjoying It, Karen
Sergent, B. Dalton's manager, said.
Miller and Paine caters to an
"impulsive buying" market, Bayley said.
If these persons are exposed to a book
or topic through the mass media, they
will immediately come in and buy the
book. If the book is not in stock, only
about one-third care enough to order it,
she said. .
She described her market as having
quickly changing interests. "One week
they may be into Churchill, the next,
Africa," she said.
Quiltmaking books
While the quilt show was at the
Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, quilting
books were the number one best seller.
She said she expects the James Beard
bread cookbooks to be bestsellers when
his bread display is shown at Sheldon
later this year. , , L
Little-House-on-the-Praine books by
Laura Ingall Wilder made a major
comeback in all the stores with the
opening of the TV series. Books
concerning the American Indian also
became more popular when the
Wounded Knee nonleadership trials
began, employees said.
Books about local people are
currently popular in Lincoln book
stores, Bayley said. "Cavett," an
autobiography by Nebraskan Dick
Cavett and Christopher Porterfield,
"Caril" the story of the struggle between
the courts and Caril Ann Fugate, by
Nanette Beaver and "Song of the North
Wind" by UNL zoology professor, Paul
Johnsgaard, are selling well, she said.
Basic handicraft books about sewing,
houseplants, knitting, cooking and
home repair also are selling, she said.
Sex education books, including those
directed at the child audience, are
continuing their high popularity,
Sergent said.
Baker said the low sales in the
well-stocked sports department seems
ironic for the sports-oriented UNL
student body.
CSL
approves
ombudsman
requisite
v.
The Council on Student Life (CSL) Thursday
night voted to require that the medical
ombudsman at the University Health Center
(UHC) be a medical doctor who is not currently on
iiiw UHC staff.
The motion was made by Steve Eggland as CSL
continued discussion of its ad hoc Fees and Fines
Committee Report, The motion replaced a
recommendation in the report that required the
medical ombudsman not be associated with UHC,
now or In past years.
The action was taken to keep Dr. P.M. Bancroft,
a retired doctor, as medical ombudsman.
Bancroft, who is not paid by UHC, had previously
been associated with the center.
Susan Rehm's motion that two other
recommendations concerning the Health Center
be dropped was unanimously approved. The
motion also provided that the CSL action be
communicated to the Student Advisory Board and
the advisory board of UHC, and asked that those
two groups also consider dropping the original
recommendations.
The originally deleted recommendations asked
that:
Any patient of UHC who has an appeal bo
Informed In writing of the available appeals
process
The plaintiff in an appeals case be informed
In writing of the decision in his case and the
reason for it.
