Book Stacking Techniques Taking Japan by Storm

Many of the worlds leading publishers are now seeing 25% of their entire book sales stem from digital content. This figure should dramatically increase in the next few years and the traditional bookstores are fighting for their lives. One thing that might draw customers back into the fold is the art of book stacking. In Japan, book stacking is taking the country by storm. With all of the manga and comic shops, it takes a fair bit to get noticed. This has prompted the industry to try and outdo each other with solid book display designs. People are flocking to the bookstores in record numbers to check out the new ways artists are stacking books. The trend of stacking books is going viral on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. A movement is taking shape with who can take the best pictures of the displays, and often are buying the physical book as keep sake.
