Supplementary notes
Figures refer to publishers' turnover (revenue from the sales of books) but do not reflect the total book market, i.e. margin of booksellers or other retailers. Figures do not account for revenues from selling rights for translation or audiovisual adaptation. The source noted that only data on market value was available in some cases, and in such cases, average discount rates were applied in order to calculate an approximation of net turnover.
All figures are estimates.
Figures have been rounded.
