Last year, in the first comprehensive study of used-book sales, industry organization Book Industry Study Group reported that revenues from used-book sales in the United States had topped $2.2 billion in 2004, representing more than 111 million copies sold and 8.4 percent of total consumer spending on books. Jeff Hayes, vice president and general manager for InfoTrends and principal analyst for the study, had commented on the results, saying, “The rapid growth of the general trade used-book market is a direct result of the Internet eliminating much of the friction in the buying and selling process.
