Trade Publishing Increases Nearly 7%, Ebooks Grow Nearly 45%, According to "BookStats" Industry Survey for 2012
US Publishing’s Most Comprehensive Annual Survey Now Available
The new edition of BookStats, co-produced by the Association of American Publishers and the Book Industry Study Group, is now available for purchase.
Some highlights of this year’s report:
Trade publishing saw significant growth since 2011 and 2008, the report’s first year
The increases were fueled by a year of strong new releases, particularly in the romance genre, and even more widespread popularity of eBooks than in past years. This growth occurred despite the loss of numerous brick-and-mortar stores in 2012 and a lower cost for eBooks than print books, which translated to higher quantities of eBooks sold. [See Chart 1]
