I would classify this book as "espionage", but there is a tendency to include the work of very good crime and spy writers as "literature". In this case I understand that. John LeCarré is a very big one.

Among the youth there is also a tendency to call all reading "literature" (presumably by analogy with "professional literature"). I am not in favor of that.

With the previous one, I rely on the judgment of Boekenmagazijn.

The entire term 'Dutch literature' should be deleted immediately. To begin with, that "Dutch" adds nothing. Or are we also going to add German kids \ youth and Italian sheet music. Indeed, we do not. And with good reason. So get rid of those additions Dutch, English.

Remains "Literature". But that is not really useful either, because it is not a value-free concept. Whether a writing is of any level at all is very personal (did someone there say Kluun?). It is therefore not suitable as a catalog label. Something is fiction or non-fiction. And if it is fiction, it is a novel, a novella, poetry or whatever, but it is therefore not literature. If only because the types of Pulp and kitchen girl novel are (and rightly so) not used either.

So that book by Lordernie is just a novel! And as a genre you can choose history, autobiography or I know a lot.

Much of this misery is because what in books is called 'kind' is still a fairly incomplete and randomly composed receptacle of types, genres and sheer nonsense.

It's no wonder that users get lost and this kind of thing to do.

Users only do this if they are given the opportunity.

The species Struwwelpeter was (only) added by an administrator on 20-03-2013.

What would be in the manual on the definition of Species?

PS I would limit the term (Dutch) Literature (as far as the type book is concerned) to books about literature, such as 1581111 .
In that context Spionage should also be called Espionage roman , unless only non-fiction like 2466775 is included.

@Boekenmagazijn: For books about literature there is the kind of "secondary literature.

@pegag: When you talk about" The silence of Maria Zachea ", it is not" just a novel ". In the Wikipedia the book is listed as a "debut novel", but elsewhere on the internet I sometimes found it classified under Non-fiction. Quite recently an anniversary edition appeared with photos of the family, which also points to Non-fiction. In short, it is very clear. It all seems reality.

Certain choices from the past cannot always be called happy in retrospect, but I do not see any reason to explode in anger as yet. I actually don't have one myself.

And I complain about music! Take this 1590673 Pressure is just adjusted etc In addition, novel and translated literature, if it were now literature and novel and translated, then the Boekerij really seems to me to be a Dutch publisher. Or just the Netherlands and Konsalik real literature I think, but most of them will disagree. Looks like item genre in music.

As you may have noticed, I don't care at all and I approve of almost everything in terms of Kind. Who am I to question the importer's perception? And if you then change it to something else, then I probably approve it again, because who am I to question your perception?

But satire is not there and the author has actually written a novel and not a satire! If even the author makes it difficult;)

placed the book 3846687 under theology, but it really doesn't belong there. I don't really think that they are religious exercises and religion.

Something else, what is the difference between literary thriller and thriller?

Probably literary thriller can be deleted otherwise we will start again as mentioned earlier with Dutch Literary Fiction Thriller;)

A satire can be a novel. If it's a hilarious novel, you might consider adding it (also) to the "humor" kind.

The subdivision is not sophisticated enough to give each book an exactly matching type. We have to be a little open-minded about that. I find "theology" appropriate enough to describe the kind of a book on religion. And "Religion" I also count correctly.

The layout is less of a problem than you think. In principle, you decide for yourself which type a book falls under. After all, it is your book. And if you think you cannot organize the book, you can always choose "Other".

As an administrator, I usually keep your choice, unless I have a much better idea, I can supplement a type or the chosen type cannot be directly related to the item (if the choice is not correct is).

But please take it easy. It's not a big deal. The types are, I think, intended as possibilities, not constraints.

At Catawiki, we don't necessarily have anything to do with what a publisher thinks a book is, although it can be a guideline. Those publishers also put 'graphic novel' on an adventure story about WW2.

Of course there are always exceptions and mistakes to be found.
As a general guideline, however, it can provide quite a bit of guidance.

No, I think Arco is right.

"A literary thriller is different from a thriller because the publisher says so." ???

No, a thriller is a literary thriller, if it has sufficient literary quality. Now the question is of course who makes that difference. But you cannot leave that assessment to a party that has a commercial interest in this product. That's a bit too naive.

The literary thriller was conceived as a concept by the marketing people at a publisher.
Now let's not attach too much importance to whether or not a thriller is "correct" as being literary.

In addition, you should only be able to give such an indication AFTER the book has been read and assessed. Isn't it much easier to adopt the NUR code as it is in the book?

Because thrillers and literary thrillers have now been given their own target group, it is in the interest of the publishers to name "their" book correctly to reach the right target audience. That is their commercial interest.

For the record, I think it's a superfluous genre, so we might agree.

It might seem easier to use the NUR codes, but in reality it isn't, because Catawiki is not set up for that. Then the system would have to be radically changed and that costs money.

When a genre is popular, there is never enough of it. Then it is often not in the interest of the publisher to name books correctly, but to find the right books to cat them.

I myself can better imagine 5 year old children as studying youth than as mathematicians. It seems to me that progress has nevertheless been made.

Youth is youth. It looks like a discussion we've had before :-)

The first image shows staples, so staple booklet doesn't really seem wrong. I don't know what else it should be and it doesn't seem right to introduce a new type of book for 1 different edition.
