Are book printers worried? Well, yes. But should they be? No. A look at the numbers behind the book business reveals a healthy industry. Though many people cite a decline in new titles of 18,000 in 2005 relative to 2004, this drop in and of itself does not give enough information for a clear picture. True, fewer titles were published in 2005, but, in 2004, more titles were published in the United States than in any other year in history. According to Bowker statistics, 195,000 titles were published domestically and 375,000 English titles were published internationally. The drop-off certainly does not denote the industry’s demise.
