Trends in Consumer Book-Buying
Drawing on data from the soon-to-be released 2013 U.S. Book Consumer Demographics & Buying Behaviors Annual Review, join PW and Bowker as we discuss the latest trends on a range of topics concerning where people buy books, what types of books they buy and why they buy certain books. Attendees learn how sales through different outlets have changed over the years, what categories are hot and which are cold. Using new and four years' of historical data, the participants document the dramatic change in book formats and consumer trends in fueling the explosion in e-books. In addition, attendees gain insight into the demographic makeup of the book-buying public and what triggers the decision to buy a book. Attendees will also be the first to hear about trends in the first quarter of 2013.
In Conversation:
Jim Milliot, Co-editorial Director of Publishers Weekly
Carl Kulo, U.S. Director of Bowker Market Research
