May Book Sales Incrementally Down YTD
By Jane • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •According to the American Association of Publishers, 79 publishers have reported $670 million in sales for the month of May. This is a 1.8% decrease from last year and 0.7 % decrease for the year.
Adult hardcovers and ebooks increased and Childrens’s/YA Paperback had a slight increase while every other category suffered a decline.
You can see the AAP article here or the google spreadsheet here.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
