The rise of print book sales and decline in ebooks in 2015 was no accident. Last year, the trend continued, and self-publishing in electronic form no longer seemed as good a bet as in previous years. In 2016, the unit sales of printed books in the US increased by 3.3 per cent. That's not unusual, except this year, the publishing industry didn't produce any runaway bestsellers such as 2015's The Girl on the Train by Erin Cressida Wilson, and only a handful of books, mostly from previous years, sold more than 1 million copies.
