Description

  The present invention relates to a method for creating / selling a copy of a book, and more particularly, to a method for creating and selling a book copy having high aesthetics at low cost and on demand.

  Conventionally, art objects such as calligraphy have the effect of giving comfort to viewers and greatly changing the atmosphere of a residence or office. However, masterpieces, which are the works of renowned calligraphers, can usually only be appreciated at museums and temples, and even today's calligraphers are very expensive and difficult to disseminate as an interior decoration in ordinary homes. Is in the situation. In addition, it is difficult to make an aesthetic decision, and the book tends to be less popular today because it is based on monotone written in black on white paper such as Japanese paper.

  A copy of the book can be considered as a means of improving the scarcity and price of such a book. Conventionally, copying or copying of this book has been performed. However, duplication by copying requires advanced technology for the duplicator, and there are restrictions on the reduction in the number of production and the price. In addition, since copying by copying uses a copying machine, cost performance can be improved, but since it is based on monotone, there is a demerit that aesthetics are significantly reduced compared to the original. In addition, these copies of the book do not alter the aesthetic width of the book, so it is difficult to prevent the above-mentioned decline in popularity.

  In addition, as a method for selling the above-mentioned copy of the book, conventionally, there are display sales at specialty stores and sales using the Internet. In such a conventional method of selling a copy of a book, it is necessary to stock a large number of ready-made products, and the ready-made products can be selected as the greatest common divisor of the consumer's preference in view of the less active tradeability. I have to be. However, there is a great individual difference in the preference of artworks such as books, and there are cases in which a consumer cannot make a selection that matches the preferences with such a conventional method of selling duplicate products.

On the other hand, in order to eliminate such inconvenience of replica sales, a system has been developed that creates and sells on-demand copies of artworks such as paintings, books, prints, photographs, etc. (for example, (See JP 2001-331662 A, JP 2002-189902 A, etc.). However, this method for creating and selling a duplicated product can eliminate the uneconomical effect caused by the selectivity and inventory of the consumer, but it cannot solve the above-mentioned decline in aesthetics and sluggish popularity of the duplicated product.
