Recession Helps Business Publishing
June 12th, 2009
The success of books about business and the economy has been as much of a surprise to the publishers as to many of the authors. Books such as The Economic Naturalist, by Robert Frank, have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Nielsen Book-Scan says the specialist non-fiction market was the only publishing area to grow in terms of value last year. Now there is a demand for books which look beyond the recession. While the recession is unlikely to do many favours for the publishing industry as a whole, it’s just possible a few of its participants might not be so concerned if it carries on a little longer.
