Buyers Aware: Inside the Black Book Market
PW talks with seven booksellers about African-American book buying
by Felicia Pride -- Publishers Weekly, 12/10/2007
In conversations with buyers for the African-American category from major chains, independent bookstores and online retailers, there was some consensus (urban fiction keeps selling), at least one new trend (the growth of YA fiction for boys) and a few surprises (flat overall '07 sales at B&N) as well as a strong sense among them all that African-American publishing continues to be a dynamic segment in the industry.

My turn to react in pride and astonishment
Who would have ever thought that the industry would be depending upon trends in African American PUBLISHING--
Thanks Troy. I'm proud to be a Black man! |
