That revelation is just one finding from the latest Books & Consumers survey, an ongoing study of the habits of British book buyers by category experts at BML, a Bowker business.
According to the survey, the 48 weeks ending 27th November 2011 UK saw purchases of physical books decline by 4% while value was down 6% compared to the same period in 2010.

When eBook purchases are included, the total consumer book market grew 0/4% in but fell 3% in value.
