> Most of us have heard that 195,000 new titles were published in 2004 – a staggering 14 percent increase in one year. But most of those books don't sell very well. According to Nielsen BookScan, **93 percent of those new books sell less than 1000 copies a year** and account for only 13 percent of total book sales. Put another way, 7 percent of new books account for 87 percent of sales. The BookScan numbers are further evidence that the rapid increase in new titles is being driven by self-publishing through print-on-demand services, and not by conventional publishers expanding their lists. Emphasis added.
