Article Excerpt
Once again, the numbers presented here are based on data drawn from the "Books Recently Published" and "Music Received" columns only. This allows the reporting of prices to reflect current publishing trends and not become skewed by the time lag for reviews to appear in Notes. In addition, only imprints from 2000 and forward are included in the calculations for the year 2002.
This year's column also separates books into English, German, Italian, French, and Spanish so that price trends can be tracked by language. The above-mentioned Notes columns listed 1,762 books in the year 2002, though prices were included or could be found for only 1,200 (68 percent) that met the criterion of a 2000 imprint date or later. Of English-language books, 582 of 842 (or 69 percent) are included; likewise, 305 of 387 German-language books (79 percent), 134 of 207 Italian-language books (65 percent), 126 of 180 French-language books (70 percent), and 53 of 146 Spanish-language books (36 percent). No distinction is made between monographs published in series and those published separately.
Caveats:
1. Occasionally, it is difficult to determine from the bibliographic information appearing in Notes in which category a score might best belong....
