scientific discipline fiction and illusion book sales , as measured by Nielsen Bookscan , have dropped dramatically in late years . Just in 2012 , science fiction script sales flatten 21 percent , and phantasy book sales dropped a startling 28 percent . In one twelvemonth . Before you panic too much , bear in judgement that Nielsen is only measuring print book gross sales in certain outlets — and e - book sale are probably picking up much of the slack here . If anything , I ’m guessing SF and illusion reader are more potential to be backbreaking adopters of e - readers , due to our tech - savvy leanings .
The chief matter that ’s worrying about this ? If your city is still lucky enough to have a specialization SF bookstore , it may be suffering from the spell away from print rule book . Definitely deserving swinging by your local SF bookstore and grease one’s palms some extra books this calendar week . [ Genreville ]
