Open Shops: Statistics on recent changes
In answer to the question, "What's happening to the open shops?"
Here's a statistical look at changes in the number of open shops over the past 12 months. Overall, of the 433 new listings that have been added to the Book Hunter Press database over the past 12 months, 333, or 70%, are open shops. Based on the description of the inventory given to us by the dealers, the shops range from "hardcover only" to "mostly paperback" to "friends of the library" and other non profit shops. The USA information is divided into six geographic regions based on the six Used Book Lover's Guides. The Canadian numbers reflect the entire country. The "New Listings" column includes shops recently opened or not previously listed in the Book Hunter Press database. The "Closings" column reflects dealers who have gone out of business. The numbers do not include previously listed mail order or by appointment dealers who have opened shops, or, open shop dealers who have closed their shops and are now selling by appointment or mail. Please note that while we update all regions on a continuing basis, at any given time of the year we may be undertaking a more in depth update of one or more specific regions. This may account for some of the regional disparities in the numbers below. (my advance apologies if the columns do not come across neatly) New Listings Closed New England 14 13 Mid-Atlantic 47 19 South Atlantic 120 30 Midwest 21 26 Central/Western 47 60 Pacific Coast 61 35 Canada 23 18 TOTAL 333 201 Susan Siegel Book Hunter Press Regional guides to used and antiquarian booksellers PO Box 193 Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 (914) 245-6608 Fax: (914) 245-2630 www.bookhunterpress.com |
