Troy Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 The Association of American Publishers (AAP) reported the following: Washington, DC; July 11, 2016 – The U.S. book and journal publishing industry generated $27.78 billion in net revenue for 2015, representing 2.71 billion in units (volume), according to the Association of American Publishers (AAP) StatShot Annual survey. Revenues and unit volume were essentially flat with a decrease of 0.6% from $27.96 billion in revenue from 2014, and a 0.5% increase in units from 2.70 billion units in 2014 (Read the entire press release). The AAP also reports that eBooks sales are down from last year. This does not surprise me as ebooks sales peaked and leveled off more than a year ago. Even though I was a very early adopter and promoter of ebook technology, I still prefer a physical books. Interestingly, coloring books are major factor in book sales. FYI: the "Other" category includes calendars, maps, notebooks, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
