About BookStats

BookStats, a Joint Venture between the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) and the Association of American Publishers (AAP), provides a comprehensive view of the size and shape of the US book publishing industry measured by publisher net unit and dollar sales.

Now in its third year, this revolutionary data project continues to carefully track transformational shifts in how book content is sold in the digital age. The newest release, to be revealed during Making Information Pay 2013 scheduled for May 15, 2013 in NYC, will provide annual publisher net revenue and unit sales going back five years (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012) across three dimensions:

  • Formats: including physical (hardcover, paperback, audio and mass market), non-physical (e-book, enhanced e-books, downloadable audio, paid mobile apps, internet-based products and services) and bundles
  • Categories: including trade fiction and nonfiction, juvenile (early readers, middle grade and young adult), religious, higher education, K-12, professional and scholarly books
  • Channels: including physical retail (chains, independents, mass retailers and specialty), online retail, institutional sales (libraries and schools), direct-to-consumer, jobbers & wholesalers, book fairs and export sales
Extrapolated data for BookStats is derived through a transparent methodology which fully sizes the complete US publishing industry and provides the only means for understanding the rocketing e-book growth rate.

The end result gives publishing, financial, and media businesses a valuable tool for analyzing our rapidly evolving industry.
