Books published per country per year

This page lists the number ofbook titles published per country per yearfrom various sources. According toUNESCO,this is an important index ofstandard of living,education, and of a country's self-awareness.[1]No standardised way to track the number of books published exists which can make it difficult to compare countries or track the industry as a whole.[2]One method is to track how manyInternational Standard Book Numbers(ISBNs) are registered by each country.[2]
