In regards to the YBP book price update, I'm afraid the link below is an
outdated one. The Book Price Update is now available in GOBI, www.gobi3.com.

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
URLhttp://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?
