US Book Sales Stats - Writers Forum

Hallo and Happy New Year for all!!!
Can you help me in finding book sales stats (per category, per title, per subject) concerning the US book industry?

have you tried googling for it?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...les+statistics

that turned up 20.8 million hits, but the stats you want can probably be found on the first page of items...

narrowing the search criteria, by adding 'by genre' you'll get a more managable number (under a million):

First of all happy New Year.
General statistics i had already seen.
I look for detailed statistics (sales per category and per book)

google is still your best place to find the sites that will have that info... the book publishers associations would be your best bet, i should think...
