I thought that there were fewer books aimed at the christmas market this year by this I mean less best of -- type books
or other coffee table books.It also seems less quantities of each annual were printed with after christmas copies of the Broons, beano annuals etc. Harder to find.
I noticed the Beano annual concentrated on humour strips and dropped the adventure strips so I assume they think this is best way to increase sales, personally I used to like some of the wacky adventure stories.
As christmas approached I was expecting lots of gift books for sale but they didn't materialise.
