Writer's Blog: British Book Sales: Nonfiction Slumps, Fiction Sells The Bookseller reports that sales of nonfiction in Britain are slumping while sales of fiction are up 90%. Sales of this year's top 10 non-fiction books in October were down 52% year on year, while sales of hardback fiction titles have soared by 90%. Figures for the most recent week to 31st October showed non-fiction continuing to underperform. Only Guinness World Records and Delia Smith's Delia's Happy Christmas (Ebury) sold more than 10,000 copies last week. Last year 10 hardback non-fiction titles passed this threshold during the same period.So why is fiction suddenly outselling nonfiction like crazy? Perhaps the terrible economy has something to do with it. Fiction is an escape. When times are bad, it's quite relaxing to dip into a fictional world. Other than cook books and lifestyle titles, most of the nonfiction is a tad depressing. Just dip into any of the finance/fall of Wall Street titles, for example, and prepare to be horrified.
