I can always use some good news. I read about how sales are down here and they're closing bookstores there, it gets a little discouraging. But, finally, we get some good news from the
AAP and I wanted to share a little bit of that with you!
Book sales increased by 16.6% in March with is $458.2 million dollars and were up by 8% for the year!!!
Hardcover adult category, audio books and University Press hardcover books all saw a fairly significant increase.
All of this was reported by the
Association of American Publishers this week.
I have to say that COS has seen an increase in the number of book videos we're doing and I wondered if that was a reflection of the overall health of the industry. And though I don't know that they are related, I'm hoping it does signify a better year for publishing overall.
