Fifty Shades Gives UK Book Sales a Boost

UK publishers have reported record sales for 2012, despite the recession and the rise of e-readers, and EL James' 'Fifty Shades' trilogy is leading the pack with 10.5 million copies sold. 

'Fifty Shades' Gives UK Book Sales a Boost

According to figures released by sales tracker Nielsen at the end of the year, the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy took top three spots in the 2012 best-sellers chart, the BBC reported. 

The Publishers Association said that total spending on printed and digital books rose 4 per cent to 3.3 billion pounds last year. 

Digital spending rose by 66 per cent to 411 million pounds but does not appear to have led to a marked decline for print, with physical book sales down by just 1 per cent at 2.9 billion pounds.
