NEW DELHI: Dheeraj Arora is a 27-year old trainer at the New Delhi-based Hero Mindmine, a provider of training and development services for business process outsourcing companies. In the past three months, he has been frequenting a popular bookstore in the Capital scouring for books on self-improvement, motivation and career counselling, part of a growing tribe of executives seeking a morale boost amid the gloom of job-cuts and lay-offs in a slowing economy. Little wonder then that publishers and retailers are reporting that sales of self-help and motivational books have picked up pace in the past six months as they gear up to satisfy the rising hunger for literature from this genre.

NEW DELHI: In its "mission" to "organise all the world's information and make it universally accessible," search behemoth Google is now eyeing the Hindi book segment for digitisation as part of its Book Search initiative. The Google Book Search basically digitises books through a technique called Optical Character Recognition, or the OCR. Web surfers looking for books in Hindi will soon be able to do that using some keywords as it is currently done on any search engine.

LONDON: The Vatican Library is all set to reopen after a three year long renovation that saw computer chips being fitted in its 70,000 books dating back nearly 2,000 years and then stored in a bombproof bunker. Daily Telegraph Tuesday reported that all the library's 70,000 books, which are kept in a bombproof bunker, have been fitted with a computer chip that emits radio signals so as to prevent theft. Fireproof walls, closed-circuit cameras, automated entry and exit gates and climate-controlled rooms were also introduced during the renovation.

Just about anyone who is somebody is writing a business book today. Bookstore shelves are sagging with titles that claim to tell you everything about winning companies, business leaders, and the supposedly-unknown secrets of leadership, success, innovation. The year 2006, too, had a fair share of junk masquerading as business wisdom. But there were also a handful of true page turners. Here's a selection of 10 of the books that were noteworthy in the true sense.

Getting to a seminar at eight in the morning in search of that elusive success mantra, but ending up poorer is not exactly the best path to self-motivation. Not unless you are meeting leadership guru Marshal Goldsmith, he leaves you with less in your wallet, but wiser. Goldsmith turns an informal chat into a quick lesson on the importance of feedback. He sets the ground rules: this writer has to pay Rs 50 (later given to charity) for every use of the words 'no', 'but' or 'maybe'.

NEW YORK: A shrinking economy and rising technology have transformed how, and how many, books are being published. With publishers cutting back new releases in response to declining sales, an estimated 275,000 traditional books were released in the United States last year, a drop of about 9,000 from 2007, according to Bowker, a New Providence, New Jersey-based company that compiles industry statistics. Categories with the biggest reductions included travel, religion and biography, Bowker said Tuesday.

MUMBAI: Books have ceased to be our best friends. The one-and-half years of recession and the resultant downturn in markets have thrown finance books off the shelves of people who once devoured it. Though top book retailers have logged about 250 new releases — by well-established writers — on their racks since January 2008, the actual sale of finance books has declined 25-30% over the past one year. The consumer finance and investment section — that is typically crammed with new authors and includes books with catchy titles like 'How to make money in stock markets' and 'Get rich quick through stock markets' — is the worst-hit, with about 40% plus dip in overall sales.
