The full figures I had from Nielsen BookScan (but did not include in my article and did not show Stephen) were: New Zealand-published fiction represented 6.1% of NZ-published books (5% of the total fiction market); NZ-published non-fiction represented 70.9% of NZ-published books (34.7% of the total non-fiction market); and NZ-published children’s books represented 23% of NZ-published books (13.9% of the total children’s market). That is to say, there were separate figures for children’s books. And I think these are children’s books sold in high street bookstores, rather than educational books, which are a much bigger market and would surely be more than 23%.Guy Somersethttp://twitter.com/GuySomersetnoreply@blogger.com
