Bookstore Sales Fell 24.6% in July - Publishers Weekly

Today Panzer decided to make a trip to the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the posts, he found one about how book sales did in July.

 

According to the post by Jim Milliot, bookstore book sales were understandably down. July bookstore sales were down 24.6 percent compared to last year. This was, however, actually an increase over June's sales which were down 35 percent compared to last year. August book sales figures aren't out yet.

 

Maybe things will get better now.

Panzer says, "Some bookstores are open for fewer customers inside at a time, some are letting customers order by phone and online with store curbside pickup and some are selling online now too."
