How have the number of books written or sold about personal finance
changed over the last 5 or 10 years?
I'm looking to see if there's a trend that reflects the state of
Americans' financial situation (which I believe is worsening). So the
number published and/or sold for each of the last 5-10 years would
point to that. NetBanker: Business Planning Archives::

Dear Sashen,
for number of published books I suggest you visit your nearest
academic/public library and ask them to show you Global Books in Print
(online). You can then try to play with its Advanced search depending
on what exactly you need the data for or intend to do with it, e.g.:
Search On: Subject - (all)
Search for: personal finance
Limit by publication year, market, and/or country of publication
I did a quick search and got something like this:
Markets/Published in
US/US All/US All/All
1999 643 1106 1311
2000 705 1248 1494
2001 833 1401 1694
2002 792 1331 1684
2003 706 1253 1564
2004 828 1232 1537
2005 446 691 932 (not complete year)
Hope this helps a bit :-)
Cheers,
