English abstract

Throughout the years, many forms of trade in used books and historic books emerged. Nearly all of them have survived, even though their role and significance vary depending on the given place and time.. It is difficult to judge whether some of these forms will triumph and dominate, while others will go into oblivion, although certain very suggestive and convincing publications or partial analyses and comparisons could lead to such conclusions. For instance, the Internet has become the leading mode in some areas of the market, marginalising more traditional modes, but on the other hand it is the Internet that actually creates new, previously unknown opportunities for those traditional modes. Moreover, the Internet has also boosted and popularised the secondary book market which was was formerly limited to antiquarians bookshops and street sellers’ stands for long centuries. Never before has the trade in the book assortment achieved this scale which is actually without limits as regards space or quantities. It was the Internet that tapped into the unexplored layers of assortment remaining outside the traditional cultural and commercial centres; it was also the Internet that has made virtually everyone who buys a book online exposed to the offer of the secondary book market. On the other hand, if the book in its paper form is soon replaced with electronic carriers, as has been recently predicted, then the secondary book market will gain even more significance. It will become the key repository of books in their traditional form which, as it appears, will not be abandoned in the nearest future.
