Re: The book market during recessions

Does anyone have a feel for how the market for novels (not just SF) is
doing in these lovely times of economic panic? I have absolutely no
clue whether it's affected or not, but I'd assume so. I know other
entertainment markets are being hit quite severely...

From what I hear in Germany, sales have not dropped considerably. The small presses I work with do not see any impact at all.

But here, generally, consumer spending has been stable despite the downturn, as Germans have deeper pockets (more savings, much less loans) than our brethren in the US (or UK).
