The book market protection law is like Bigfoot. No one interested has seen it.

The Polish book market law project remains undisclosed, with only four key principles known. Creators demand transparency and public debate on the legislation. A letter from various organizations urges the Prime Minister for swift publication of the draft. The law aims to protect books as cultural goods, a necessity long awaited by the literary community. The four principles include a fixed book price for a year post-release, minimum royalties for authors and translators, limited distributor discounts, and mandatory reporting of sales to the government. Concerns arise about the potential impact of a fixed price on sales, drawing comparisons to international examples.
