This combined with the closing of mall stores like Waldenbooks ultimately will leave less shelf space out there for books, driving publishers to look for alternative forms of distribution.
Despite this, over the past few years, book sales have been steadily climbing. In 2002, estimated U.S. book publishing industry net sales were $22.1 billion, increasing 4.8 percent in 2003 to $23.1 billion, according to the Association of American Publishers. From 2003 to 2004 the industry experienced a slight drop, down 1.3 percent to $22.8 billion. However, net sales for the industry are estimated to have increased by 9.9 percent from 2004 to 2005 to a grand total of $25.1 billion in 2005.
