The First Comprehensive Report on Used-Book Sales

This press release from the Book Industry Study Group announces the publication of their study Used-Book Sales: A Study of the Behavior, Structure, Size and Growth of the U.S. Used-Book Market.

"The rapid growth of the general trade used book market is a direct result of the Internet eliminating much of the friction in the buying and selling process," says Jeff Hayes, Group Director for InfoTrends and principal analyst for the study. "Used books are now a factor in the business equation for publishers and booksellers."
