BEA News Starting to Trickle In

Most reviews of the latest Book Expo America are indeed reviews of the show rather than a discussion of sales numbers of books and their growth or decline over the last year. This article from ICV2 does mention that the market for all books was down 1.5 % this year, but there's not discussion on readership of graphic novels or Manga as far as percentages of increase or decrease over one year or the next. The last two years have seen significant growth in sales of sequential art while other books have struggled. If I get any hard data, I'll share it here ASAP.
