Book Displays, Shelving & More
Although people spend much of their time during the day using technology, when it comes to reading for business, pleasure, or education, physical books are much preferred over their digital counterparts. In fact, a survey of 2,400 book readers of all ages in the United States, U.K., France, and Germany found that 65% preferred physical books. More surprising, 70% of respondents ages 16-24 said they'd rather read from a physical book over an e-book.
Any location that has a large assortment of books will want to keep its inventory organized through the creative and engaging use of book displays, book stands, book display shelves, and book display cabinets.
Luckily, shopPOPdisplays has a large assortment of displays that can fulfill these needs, including pedestals, acrylic boxes, display cases, acrylic risers, signage, and more. Everything from seasonal books, textbooks, and special collections to rare editions and various categories (self-help, children's, DIY, etc.) can be highlighted and displayed so they are easily accessible.
