Jewish Book World has said that it reviews between 600-700 books anually, and more than 400 new titles are submitted each year as candidates for the National Jewish Book Awards. I, too, have been looking for statistics on Jewish book publishing, and I think I've posted requests on hasafran. Can anyone direct me to a list Moment Magazine once printed of the bestselling Jewish books of all time, and/or a source of statistics for the number of copies sold of books like Wiesel's NIGHT or other popular Jewish writers, such as Faye Kellerman? I came across a note about Lamm's "Jewish Way in Death and Mourning" which says it sold 320,000 copies and is one of the top sellers in Judaica, which I found very surprising... I would like information on these sorts of things and also about trends in the industry. Andrea Rapp Wise Temple, Cincinnati
