BOOKSTATS

BookStats, a joint venture between the Association of American Publishers (AAP) and the Book Industry Study Group (BISG), is a first-of-its-kind data project with the goal of unifying the statistical model used throughout publishing, financial and media industries to track the size and shape of the U.S. publishing industry... As the U.S. book publishing industry is going through tectonic shifts in how it creates and sells content, the need for precise and complete data that accurately sizes the industry's footprint from different perspectives is more essential than ever... I was skeptical but I found that BookStats helped me to grasp the original position of my publications after just the first quarter! Pat Benatar, uLeather
