Subject: [ACQNET-L] Book price inflation
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know what the average book price inflation increase percentage was for 2014 or know of an open source for this info? We stopped getting the Library and Book Trade Almanac a few years ago (also can't locate a current copy nearby) and the 2014 Prices of U.S. and Foreign Published Materials only goes up to 2013 for books and has a one-year embargo. YBP has not published a new Annual Book Price Update either. I need this ASAP for our annual collection valuation. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
