Book sales are up! And it\u2019s not just wishful thinking on my part. According to Ingram\u2019s BISAC studies this is true across the board, with humor, especially related to animals and history, leading the pack with a 1085% increase in sales. Young adult book sales are up 843% and fiction (mystery, fantasy) are up over 500%.<\/p>\n
Those staying safer at home are also reading up on business topics, gardening, health, crafts and hobbies as well as religion. Yes, Bible sales are up.<\/p>\n

book sales showed that our focus was more on self-help, such as cooking; body, mind, and spirit, and language arts. And the increase in book sales was not as dramatic.<\/p>\n
