For over thirty years, the Book Industry Study Group has been committed to providing comprehensive statistical information about the U.S. book market through its flagship research publication, Book Industry TRENDS.

TRENDS numbers are quoted in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, Business Week, Publishers Weekly, and many other periodicals that serve book-industry professionals, who rely on TRENDS as they plan for the future.

As part of the continuing process of improving TRENDS, the Book Industry Study Group recently expanded its data sources to cover the significant and growing segment of the U.S. book-publishing industry composed of companies with annual revenues of up to $50 million, as well as the segment comprising larger companies that TRENDS previously tracked.

Providing comprehensive coverage of publishers’ net revenues and units, publishers’ average dollars per unit, and domestic consumer expenditures, along with other sets of figures in this edition of TRENDS, involved investigating econometric datasets, annual reports, detailed financial analyses, major studies about specific segments of the book industry, and U.S. government reports, among other sources.

With more than 250 pages of tables, charts, reportage and analysis, TRENDS 2008 shows trend lines for exports and imports, standardized tests, and library acquisitions, as well as for dollar and unit sales through the various sales channels and in the major segments of the book business:

  • Adult trade

  • Juvenile trade

  • Mass market

  • Religious

  • Professional

  • University press

  • Elhi
