Print Unit Sales Rose 10.1% Last Week - Publishers Weekly

Panzer decided to make a stop at the Publishers Weekly site today. With hardly any digging in the posts at all our inquisitive kitty boy found a post about print book sales.

According to Jim Milliot's post, BookScan reports that based on information submitted to them by publishers weekly book sales increased by 10.1 percent between the week ending April 18 and the one ending April 27. The sales figures showed gains in adult fiction and adult nonfiction. The sales figures don't cover all book sales, however. because BookScan only collects information from approximately 85 percent of publishers and also doesn't collect information on book sales to libraries.

I'm just curious.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... It's interesting ... But ... This little kitty wonders ... With only 85 percent of the publishers' information ... Does really BookSpan really have all the information needed to make the conclusion about book sales increases?"
