The pie charts give information on the sales of five different kinds of books (in percentage) from 1972 to 2012.
Overall, it is evident that in the first 20 years, all kinds of books were sold more or less equally, since there was not any kind of books that stood out as a bestseller. However, it changed in 2012 as adult fiction led the pack and was the easiest sale to costumers.
In 1972, there were three kinds of books (biography, children’s fiction and adult fiction) whose sale percentage made up 20%. Other books were sold in 25% of cases, a figure that was 10% as much as that of books about travelling, at 15%.
In 1992, there were some changes, albeit to varying degrees, in the sales of books. 25% books were sold under the name of adult fiction, marking the highest percentage, followed by children’s fiction whose figure stood at 22%. It was other books that constituted 20% as opposed to the sales of travel and biology books amounting to 18% and 15%, respectively.
By 2012, significant shift occurred regarding the kinds of books sold in this year. Adult fiction gained so much popularity that almost one of every two costumers bought it (45%). It was not only adult fiction whose sales skyrocketed as children’s fiction was the second bestseller, with the figure being at a staggering 25%. By contrast, the remaining three, travel, biology and others, had smaller shares in the sales ( 10%, 8% and 12%, accordingly).
