amazon acquired its rival the book depository yesterday in a move that industry experts warned could tighten the american company' s
stranglehold
over the online book trade in the uk .
the book depository said on twitter it would
continue to operate independently
. on its website, it also asked :
how does the amazon acquisition affect the book depository customers ?
with the reply :
the book depository and amazon are aligned in wanting to ensure the best possible experience for customers... we will look to continue to increase our vast selection of great titles and provide even better customer experience .

in 1970, the texas school book depository vacated both its downtown warehouses, moving to a location in northwest dallas. the depository' s owner, colonel byrd, then sold the building at auction to aubrey mayhew, a nashville music promoter and kennedy memorabilia collector .

welcome to our bargain shop! we have the very best deals book depository has to offer with superb discounts on kids' books, as well as art and photography bargains, and lifestyle and cookbook savings .
after sexton, renovations at the depository included partitions, carpeting and air - conditioning for office suites up to the fourth, plus a new passenger elevator that went only as far as the fourth floor. the texas school book depository, incorporated 1927, was a privately - owned company charged with fulfilling book orders from schools all over the southwest. stock was kept in the basement, first floor and fourth through seventh floors .
the book depository is one of the world’s largest dedicated online booksellers, offering over nine million book titles, available for dispatch within 48 hours. huge selection of non - english books including spanish, french, german, italian, chinese, russian and japanese. we are proud to offer free delivery on every order, to over 100 countries .
for a number of years booktopia has sponsored a variety of book industry award programs. these include the australian book industry awards (platinum sponsor), the australian book design awards (platinum sponsor), the romance readers awards and conference (platinum sponsor). we have also sponsored a number of other smaller awards programs that recognise australian authors for their work .
the book depository is located in the 2100 hallway and houses all of the school' s textbooks for the math, science, social studies, humanities, foreign language and english departments, including novels for english and humanities classes. that' s about 80, 000 textbooks books .

amazon is estimated to account for 70% of uk internet book sales with the book depository and urltoken its largest rivals. neill denny, editor of the bookseller magazine, said :
the publishing industry will be worried about the concentration of power in amazon' s hands. they don' t like the stranglehold it has over online bookselling as it is .
the office of fair trading said it was
too early
to say whether it would launch an inquiry into the deal .
in 2017 booktopia won the australian book industry award' s national bookstore of the year. booktopia co - jointly won the award in 2016 and won online book retailer of the year in 2014 and 2015 at the abias. we have won lots of online retailer awards but when your business is about selling books and you are voted the best book retailer in the country and we only started in 2004 on a budget of $ 10 per day... well, that is pretty humbling indeed .
the nation' s official memorial to president kennedy is the john f. kennedy library in boston. but in 1970, the city of dallas dedicated the john f. kennedy memorial, a white - stone cenotaph meant to symbolize an open tomb. it sits on a quiet grassy lot next to the old red courthouse, just out of sight of the texas school book depository .

there are only a few exceptions to the rule. we picked this one because even though the book is stellar, the movie brought its imagination to life in a wonderful way .
he texas school book depository building still appears much as it did the day of the assassination, although the famous hertz time - temperature sign on the roof and the northwest stairway - - used by oswald after the shooting - - are in storage. there' s little outward indication that an acclaimed world - class museum that draws a half - million visitors a year exists on the building' s sixth - floor .
a font is not just a font. it' s a story and this book brings together all the top ones. trust us, you' ll see the world differently after this .
amazon acquired the gloucester firm, which claims to be the fastest - growing bookseller in europe, for an undisclosed sum. with books dispatched to more than 100 countries, the book depository made an operating profit of £2. 3m last year on sales of £69m in the year to june 2010. turnover is thought to have nearly doubled to £120m in the last financial year, with just a quarter of its sales in the uk .
after the move, it was noticed that the upper floors had become oil - soaked from items which sexton had stored, and the oil threatened to penetrate the cardboard of the depository' s book cartons. to remedy, roy s. truly, warehouse manager, began a process to cover the upper floors with plywood sheets, which necessitated moving certain amounts of the cartons over one or two aisles to allow the floor - laying crew access .
in 1977, the depository was purchased by dallas county in recognition of its historic significance, and to prevent potential private exploitation of the tragedy. the building was renamed the dallas county administration building, and today houses the seat of dallas county government .
competition in this category was ferocious but the cemetery of forgotten books is very special. a huge, old library where the chosen few pick one book and protect it for life; a bibliophile' s dream .

if you find a book you like on our website and you are close to a local bookseller, then please, go in and support them. maybe they can get that book in for you. they know their product, they love books and are a part of your community. if, however, you are an online shopper, shop on price as well as service, or live in any area where you need the convenience of an online store, then we are here for you .
this is a must for none visiting dallas - on business or pleasure. really well organised, informative and full of authentic artefacts which enhance the experience. the view from the window is thought provoking. well worth a visit. - perhaps book on line ahead to save queuing time .
for a number of years in the 70s, the privately - run john f. kennedy museum operated out of the dal - tex building across from the depository. for $ 1. 50, a papier - mache model of the city mimicked the parade route with electric lights while a narrator described the tragedy. all form of kennedyana was offered, from ashtrays to velvet art .
once people start ordering from amazon they often realise the shipping costs are quite expensive. here at booktopia, we ship as many books as you want for $ 6. 95. this is very economical. amazon book pricing can be cheaper but once you take into consideration the shipping, it certainly loses its appeal .
owner description: one of texas’ most visited historic sites, the sixth floor museum at dealey plaza chronicles the life, death and legacy of president john f. kennedy. the museum is in the former texas school book depository building, where evidence of a sniper was found after the assassination of president kennedy on november 22, 1963. much of the exhibit space looks as it appeared in the 1960s. highlights include a sniper’s perch, the fbi model used by the warren commission, an original teletype machine that first transmitted news of the president’s death, oswald’s wedding ring, historic films, photos and more. an interactive display overlooks dealey plaza. admission includes an audio guide, available in eight languages including asl. the museum is open daily in 2018 except christmas. timed tickets can be purchased in advance at jfk. org .
in 1963, the year the company consolidated most of its operation in the former sexton building, it employed 33 workers, including 19 warehouse men, of whom four remained at the old warehouse at 1917 n. houston street, a few blocks north. most depository workers used the parking lot of this smaller warehouse, and it was here that lee harvey oswald and his
bulky package
arrived in a co - worker' s car on the morning of the assassination .
the cathy freeman foundation is actively involved in the education program for the indigenous children of palm island. every six months, if a school student continues to do well in class and shows signs of improvement they receive a book pack from booktopia. we have supported this worthy program from 2011 to 2017. each and every booktopia customer should be so proud that you make a difference to make this program happen .

amazon... a runaway hit. photograph: frank baron for the guardian
the company was founded in 2004 by the irish entrepreneur andrew crawford with the mantra of
selling' less of more' rather than' more of less'
. it aimed to sell 6m titles covering anything from flower arranging to aircraft piston engines differentiating itself from rival retailers that increasingly focused on bestsellers .
in a statement, amazon' s vice - president of european retail, greg greeley, said he looked forward to
welcoming them to the amazon family
but added the deal would be
subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals
.
crawford, who was involved in amazon' s uk launch, said :
with the support of amazon, we look forward to continuing our growth and providing an ever - improving service for readers globally .
worried customers speculated on twitter that the deal would result in price rises and the end of free shipping .
the publishing industry is going through unprecedented upheaval as sales shift to the internet but also as digital books are bought in rising numbers. seattle - based amazon, which made profits of $ 1. 15bn (£715m) on sales of $ 34. 2bn last year, said sales of kindle books had overtaken print. the firm said it was now selling 115 kindle books to every 100 paperbacks .

the site of the infamous structure was included in city founder john neely bryan' s 1841 land claim. in 1849, bryan sold the lot to george and mary braird, who built a house and quarters for their slaves. when the brairds outgrew their home and moved, their primary house was operated as a boarding residence. beginning 1882, most buildings and fences on the block were razed and fill added to level the grade for railroad lines .
in 1894, the 411 elm property was sold for $ 9, 000 to phil l. mitchell, president and director of the rock island plow company, a farm equipment company headquartered in rock island, illinois. four years later, the company built a five - story brick structure. struck by lightning and burnt on may 4, 1901, it was replaced the same year by the present - day structure, destined to become the most infamous commercial building in america .
in 1909, title was turned over to the southern rock island plow company, who continued to sell farm equipment out of the building. in 1937, it was sold to the carraway byrd corporation. on july 4, 1939, oil tycoon colonel d. harold byrd purchased the building at public auction .
byrd' s career included co - founding the civil air patrol and funding his explorer cousin, admiral richard e. byrd, who named an antarctic mountain range after the colonel. the admiral' s ford trimotor airplane is now on exhibit at the henry ford museum in dearborn, michigan, ironically not far from the lincoln continental custom limousine in which kennedy was assassinated .
the building remained vacant until 1940, when the john sexton co. leased it. the grocery wholesaler, who catered primarily to restaurants and institutions, opened its first dallas branch office and warehouse on january 1, 1941 .
about every two weeks, bulk grocery supplies (usually canned goods) would come in by rail and be transferred to the building by carts and the two freight elevators at the building' s rear. the building, which displayed the company' s name in large letters just above the sixth floor, became familiar locally as the sexton building. the structure would be described that way in some early police reports, even though sexton had left the building on november 1961 for a modern single - story facility .
just before the president' s visit, work had begun along the west side of the sixth floor, leaving the whole scene in disarray, with stock shifted as far as the east wall, and stacks in between piled unusually high. for a quarter - of - a - century, the plywood would eerily preserve the original floorboards used by the assassin .
in april 1972, the lobby served as a visitor' s center, financed by one - dollar
deeds
for a square - inch of the ground where the building stood. the venture foundered after a small fire inside the building in early 1973, leading to mayhew defaulting on the $ 650, 000 loan. despite breaking him financially, mayhew claims his purchase saved the building from being razed. following foreclosure, colonel byrd repurchased the building in 1973 .
an old metal plaque on the front of the building reads, in part :
on nov. 22, 1963, the building gained national notoriety when lee harvey oswald allegedly shot and killed president john f. kennedy from a sixth - floor window as the presidential motorcade passed the site .
through the years, the word
allegedly
has been underlined from repeated gouging, mute testimony to the controversy that still rages .
by the late seventies, many dallasites were expressing approval for a permanent exhibit that would address the tragedy and facts of the assassination. in 1983, a fundraising drive began for the $ 3. 5 million museum and construction of access elevators on the building' s north side. opened in february 1989, the
half - a - million people each year tour the tasteful interpretative exhibit, where artifacts and images of november 22, 1963 and the kennedy years are preserved. visitors can view huge wall - mounted photographs of the president in berlin, washington, and in the tragic motorcade dallas. videos of the motorcade and inaugural address are shown. on - going exhibits are presented, such as 13 cameras in use on november 22, 1963, and the model of the assassination site prepared by the fbi for the warren commission in 1964. the atmosphere is one of quiet reflection, while avoiding the undue use of violent images .
and of course, the floor itself is eerily preserved, with dealey plaza visible through the south windows. the northwest corner staircase in now behind glass - - the staircase is an illusion, as its lower portion was removed during renovations .
after the assassination, truly' s reflooring project was completed on the sixth floor. the original floor surface at the sniper' s nest in the southeast corner remained concealed for 25 years until the plywood was lifted to prepare a reconstruction. floor markings were the same as in photos taken the assassination weekend, allowing jfk researcher jim moore to reposition schoolbook cardboard boxes with great precision. the southeast corner is now sealed off behind glass, where viewers can see oswald' s sniper nest .
the building' s owner, colonel byrd, reportedly had the sniper' s nest window removed six weeks after the assassination. byrd exhibited it like a trophy in the banquet room of his vassar street mansion until his death in 1986. in 1994, son caruth loaned the window to the sixth floor museum where it has been displayed behind protective glass ever since. however there is some controversy that byrd had the wrong window removed, and that the original sniper' s nest windows were removed by one - time owner aubrey mayhew, who calls it
the ultimate piece of kennedy memorabilia .
to broadcast images from the sniper' s nest window showing live action in dealey plaza. in 2000, copyright of the zapruder film was awarded to the museum by the zapruder family, who also gave them the last remaining copy in private hands of the zapruder film made on november 22, 1963. the original and two other copies are stored at the national archives .

draws a large crowd so get your tickets ahead of going to the museum. also plan to spend at least two hours. very informative and self guided tour is a bonus. easy access to public transportation was a plus .
this review is the subjective opinion of a tripadvisor member and not of tripadvisor llc .
the museum takes you through the history of jfk and the events of the day of the death in a very respectful manner. worth a visit .
this is american history about what happened when president kennedy was killed. it is worth the time and fee. very well done .
came to dallas for a wedding and was told about the museum by a friend. forgot all about all that happened here in the 60' s. very well worth the visit .

there are audio headphones to listen to as you walk through the museum that explain the different points of interest on the story boards. the audio does a nice job directing you to the next station as they kind of zig zag throughout. you can look out the windows where he was shot from. if history interests you, i would recommend. it was $ 16 per adult and took about 1. 5 hours .
we arrived what we though was quite early in the morning and ended up waiting in line for the lifts for about half an hour or longer after buying our tickets. if you haven' t already preordered tickets, you arrive and are ushered into a short queue to buy your ticket, after you get your ticket you are given a tour time and get directed to the gift shop then the main queue. it seemed that there was a max capacity on the 6th floor because the queue to get to the lift to take you up only moved as others came back down. you are provided with a set of headphones for your self guided tour and then go upstairs. you are not allowed to take photos while on the 6th floor. the 6th floor itself is fascinating with the corner where the shots were fired cordoned off and well preserved. the self guide tour was informative and easy to follow .
very good self guided tour. we figured we would be out of there in 1 / 2 hour, but plan on at least 2 hours !
i loved the way this museum was laid put. it was amazingly informative and taught me a lot i never knew about that fateful day. i have to say thiugh the security personnel there need to chill out a bit more. you are not allowed to take photos on the 6th floor, fair enough, but if you even dare to touch your phone woe be tide you as you will get pounced on by the security guards even if you just want to know what time it is. what made things even more annoying was the fact that one of the security guards was rushing round telling people that the guy that was handcuffed to oswald when he was shot was in the museum yet if you got anywhere near the man you were very curry hustled on by security. security spoiled the day for me. if you wish to use this much force against your customers join the police... ...
the wife and i really enjoyed our tour of the museum. it was very well done and informative. the crowds are a little sporadic with how you are directed through the place but its one of the best hour long tours i' ve taken in a long time, definitely a must see .
books deserve awards. not just regular awards but awards that celebrate their unique points of view and what they offer to their dedicated readers .

tina fey' s not bossy, she' s the boss. we imagine that she' d also be the world' s best boss. tina, are you hiring ?
shakespeare is the king of gruesome deaths. however, the cruelty of the red wedding combined with our emotional investment was just too much to handle. we will never forget. we will never forgive .
don' t be that guy. even in jest. but if you absolutely must be, at least do it discreetly .
fascinating and gruesome, the sick rose will make you very appreciative of our time and the wonders of science .
it is a post - modern classic but it' s also an all - encompassing, 1345 - character, impenetrable one. equal parts brilliant and infuriating, hats off to you if you got through it .
not scary in a' boo!' or creepy way but atwood’s world is terrifying and vaguely familiar. the misogynistic society at its centre will frighten and disturb you to your core .
we can' t explain this choice without giving away the plot so you' ll just have to take our word for it. and no, we are not crying, we are just allergic to feelings. okay? okay .
friendship knows no bounds except when it comes to this. frankly, true friends shouldn' t even ask to borrow it. time to reevaluate the people you' ve surrounded yourself with .

when it comes to compelling reasons why australians should buy from booktopia, we love linking to the website urltoken where australians can independently review companies on their capability, performance and service .
booktopia won the telstra business awards for medium sized businesses in nsw in 2014. we have also been a finalist in the awards 6 times from 2011 to 2017. no other company has achieved that feat .
we have been listed in the brw fast 100 seven times. booktopia is the only company ever to achieve this feat and we have done so in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016. the brw lists the fastest growing companies in australia. to make the list more than once is excellent going but to make it 7 times is unparalleled. we have grown so fast for so long because australians keep buying from us and that enables us to keep developing our computer systems, increasing our stock, hiring more staff and in most cases, exceeding our customers' expectations .
booktopia has been a finalist 20 times in the orias from 2013 to 2017 in a variety of categories including the startrack people' s choice awards and the best online pureplay store. we won best mobile commerce website in 2016.
