Further to Nuala's enquiry : according to the July _LA Record_, the
annual Blackwell's periodicals index 1998 averaged out as 3.78% increase
over 1997 across subject areas included (humanities & social sciences,
science & technology and medicine). I should try the Publisher's
Association web site (http://www.publishers.org.uk/) for their most
up to date book statistics.
Hope this helps!
