are there any numbers on how many books there are in the world based on genres?mostly interested in knowing how many fantasy vs sci-fi novels there are
Fantasy must win by a fairly wide margin especially at this point
>>24744956Self-help and fad diet books probably outpublish all. The flood of new age woo in the 60s and 70s alone must be immense.
>>24744956>>24745047Cookbooks & technical manuals probably have them all beat. By a lot!
>>24744946ChatGPT says: So, the safe modern answer: about 170 million books exist today, with the number constantly climbing.
>>24745322>starting a sentence with so
>>24745322Tell chatgpt that I, an anonymous poster in this thread on the topic, say it is a stupid pajeet
>>24745196>>24745047What about fashion magazines and academical thesis?
>>24744946>There are probably people out there who really eat breakfast like this>some of them are grown adults
>>24745322No fucking way there are less books than people
>>24744946all scifi becomes fantasy after enough time has passed...
