Abstract

Abstract New York City has long been the focus of the book publishing industry and will continue this role in spite of a recent trend toward decentralization. This study attempts to analyze the locational factors of this industry. The industry's historical origins are briefly presented and the dominance of New York is explained. The influence of materials and manufacturing costs on locational decisions are examined. Also, the somewhat strange relationship with markets is considered. The study is supported by quantitative data and two special measurements are presented — the Index of Productivity and the Sales Index.
