Business of Consumer Book Publishing 2010 is the latest edition of Simba’s flagship market intelligence report for the U.S. trade book publishing industry. This all-new edition contains the valuable consumer book information leading publishers, printers and retailers have come to rely on year after year.

As with past editions, Simba presents:

  • A multi-year analysis of three major bestseller lists.
  • Profiles of 20 leading publishers.
  • Simba’s signature strategic examination of 18 major subject categories (with a 5-year statistical analysis showing the growth of each).
  • Projections and insights on what categories will both drive and hamper market expansion.
  • Fresh analysis and perspective about critical trends facing trade book publishers today, including the growing influence of the Internet on all parts of the publishing process, the challenge to encourage reading in a society increasingly pressed for time, and the price wars fueling competition between book superstores and big box stores.

Once again, the report features coveted demographic information, compiled from Simmons Market Research Bureau’s trusted National Consumer survey which determines exactly who’s buying the books and where they are buying them.
