Book publishers report record sales
British publishers have reported record sales for 2012, despite the recession and the rise of e-readers.
Total spending on printed and digital books rose 4% to £3.3bn last year, the Publishers Association said.
The digital revolution really took hold in 2012 with sales up 66% to £411m, and fiction e-reading growing even faster, up 149%.
