INTRODUCING BOOKSTATS 2012

During this 60-minute webcast, representatives from the BookStats management team provided a comprehensive look into how BookStats was developed, what trends were discovered, and what's new for the 2012 edition.


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 second year, this revolutionary data project continues to carefully track transformational shifts in how book content is sold in the digital age. The current 2012 edition provides annual publisher net revenue and unit sales going back four years (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) 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, for the first time, fully sizes the complete US publishing industry.

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