There is "The Library and Book Trade Almanac 2015", which was formerly
called "The Bowker Annual" you can purchase
(http://books.infotoday.com/directories/Library-and-Book-Trade-Almanac.shtml
).  Not sure how current the data is in the current volume.  There was also
a publicly available report at this URL
http://www.ybp.com/book_price_update.html  that YBP put out on their
website, but for some reason the URL now resolves to a 404 error. Perhaps a
problem with YBP servers, or ?

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Monograph inflation

 

I can easily find studies and article after article about inflation in
serials pricing.  I'm having a MUCH harder time finding anything published
about monographs inflation, unless it's about textbook prices and student
consumers. Does anyone know of studies done about monograph pricing
inflation in the past 5/10/15 years?
