After a year 2020 where three months of confinement had disrupted the activity of bookstores, the year 2021 then experienced an extraordinary upturn, with sales volumes showing strong increases. Although we do not yet have all the economic indicators in our possession for the year 2022, sales volumes seem to be falling, at least as far as the Top 10 best sellers are concerned.
To note that Weekly Books will publish, on Wednesday, December 28, the detailed Top 10 of the literature, comics/manga, youth and practical categories. The complete charts of the best annual sales will also be analyzed and commented on in issue 28 of LH magazine, published at the end of January.
