Yes24 Relaunches Out-of-Print Books as E-Books... First Title is 'Nae Ireumeun Conrad' View original image

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Yes24 bookstore is launching a 'Digital Reissue Project' to reissue out-of-print books as eBooks.


The first book is Roger Zelazny's first novel, My Name Is Conrad, who led the 1960s SF literary scene with six Hugo Awards and three Nebula Awards. It is an SF literary work harmoniously combining the author's unique sophisticated yet poetic writing style, mythical imagery, and erudite style.


My Name Is Conrad is a book that unfolds the story of Conrad, who has lived as an immortal being on Earth turned into a museum by aliens after a nuclear war, in beautiful and poetic sentences. It is also famous as a representative work of the New Wave movement that shocked the existing SF literary world.


To commemorate the start of the Digital Reissue Project, Yes24 will hold various events until January 31. Readers who read the book and leave an eBook member review will be entered into a draw to win eBook-exclusive gift certificates worth up to 50,000 KRW. Those who leave comments suggesting books they wish to see reissued will be selected as 100 winners and receive 1,000 KRW eBook-exclusive gift certificates.



Meanwhile, Yes24 has been steadily conducting book reissue projects. Since 2021, it has been operating the 'Grajejebonso' project, which publishes out-of-print or domestically unintroduced books through funding. In 2022, through collaboration with the comic publisher Haksan Publishing, the 'Now Here Summon!' project reissued popular out-of-print comics as eBooks.
