Audio books and spoken word tapes
Article Abstract:
The spoken word tape market in the UK is small, but it has grown rapidly since the beginning of the 1990s. The value of sales of spoken word tapes grew from 13 million pounds sterling in 1992, to 50 million pounds sterling in 1996. However, spoken word tape sales form only a small percentage of the book and recorded software markets, and publishers could develop the marketing of the product to good effect. Total book sales in the UK were worth 1,959 million pounds sterling in 1996. Details of major publishers are included.
