43 million books bought in Netherlands last year; Most in 11 years
Netherlands residents bought 43 million books - physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks - in 2023 - the largest number of books sold since 2012. The increase in sales is entirely due to foreign-language books, primarily in English. The sale of Dutch-language books decreased, the Collective Propaganda of the Dutch Book Foundation (CPNB) reported.
