AAP Core Committees

AAP Statistics Committee

The AAP Statistics Committee was formed in January of 2000 to revamp AAP's Statistics Program. The Committee is working to ensure that AAP collects and distributes the most useful and current statistical information for its members and others involved in the book publishing industry. The Committee is currently examining and revising monthly and annual sales questionnaires and annual operating data questionnaires and will develop an efficient, electronic method of collecting data. The Committee is also working to partner with outside groups to share data. Once the Statistics Program has been revised, the committee will review the Program on a regular basis. Statistical questionnaires are sent to more than 2,000 book publishers, both members and nonmembers of AAP. Outside entities including the Book Industry Study Group and the U.S. Census base their figures on the data that AAP collects.
