John Delaney exposé top Irish 2020 title as Old Ireland in Colour makes €1m sales

John Boorman once said: âMovie-making is the process of turning money into light.â The publishers of Old Ireland in Colour have discovered that turning black and white photographs into colour is a surefire moneyspinner. It is the only book to have made more than â¬1 million in Ireland last year. The practice of colourising black and white photographs may be controversial but there is no doubting its popularity. Old Ireland in Colour by John Breslin and Sarah-Anne Buckley, published by Merrion Press, sold 48,475 copies, earning almost â¬1.14 million. Champagne Football by Mark Tighe and Paul Rowan (Sandycove) was Irelandâs best-selling Irish-published book last year with 49,307 copies sold. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy (Ebury Press) was Irelandâs overall best-selling book with 67,926 copies sold in total, just ahead of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.

New voices and stories help balance the books

New voices and stories help balance the books Independent.ie 10/01/2021 Emily Hourican The pandemic has been, broadly speaking, good for books, in that reading is a vital survival tool for many of us. Books aren t hard to buy online - no faffing with sizes or colours - they are relatively cheap, and usually quickly delivered (kudos to the amazing Irish bookshops that do this so efficiently). However, the pandemic has not been equally good to all books, favouring established and big-name writers over the new and emerging. When buying online, readers tend to stick with what they know - or rely on algorithms that predict what they ll like, based on previous purchases (I say nuts to these algorithms; they fail to take account of my broad and eclectic taste. Just because I love John le Carré does not mean I want an endless list of spy thrillers…). When buying online, readers do not browse, or chat to those wonderful ambassadors for books - booksellers.
