Book Publishers

Question

Does anyone have any leads on book publishing industry - specifically sales and wages at the city or county level? I have looked at the tables in the Book publishers and exclusive agents: data tables, but they only are for provinces and regions. Canadian Business Patterns has already answered one part of this - it has the number of establishments for CMAs/CAs. I've tried Strategis too with no further luck. Should I tell the faculty person about the custom tabs on Book Publishing (cat 87C0012) or is there something in DLI that I have missed?

Answer

In regards to the book publishing request by CMA or county, It is possible to provide data on certain a few large CMA. In the last book survey (2000-01) only 627 publishers and 45 exclusive agents operated in all of Canada. The major ones operate in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

The data does not have a CMA code, but it can be derived via the postal code.

It is possible to produce a report on a cost recovery basis.
