Abstract
Book publishing became more decentralized when New York State's percentage of industry employment declined from 38 percent in 1963 to 31 percent in 1987. In spite of this reduced share of the publishing labor force and a significant reduction in its proportion of book publishing establishments, New York kept its value-added share at roughly 46 percent of the nation's total.
