Book Publishing – Print Only

Regardless of fast moving technological advances and the popularity of eBook readers, the printed book will never cease to exist. Most avid readers have a love affair with the printed book. They feel it is a more personal experience with the feel of the pages, the smell of the ink and aesthetically pleasing, it is simply superior to the digital book. The love for printed books is not only that of elder generations, but it is seen through a survey showing that many of the youth today would rather have a printed book in their hands to read. Even as large bookstore chains have toppled over the past decade, the printed book is still holding its ground in sales. The Association of America Publishers reported that printed books sales grew 10% in 2013 instead of falling in sales as it did in previous years, and has continued to rise ever since.
