Documentation of title production depends primarily on the Jordanian National Bibliography as issued annually by the National Library
Statistics compiled by UNESCO and ALESCO for book production in Jordan are extremely incomplete and therefore unreliable. At the beginning of the nineties, production was running at just over 400 titles per annum and had more than doubled by 2004 (1,093 titles were published in 2002). The main language is Arabic, only 5% of books are in a foreign language.

The current situation of the book market of the Netherlands shows strong consolidation efforts and sustained acquisitions on the part of the larger publishing groups. Despite this trend, a large number of small, independent publishers still manage to maintain a presence in the Dutch market. The economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 had little noticable effect. Sales figures only started to decline in 2010.

In rights and licence purchases from German publishing companies, the rising trend continues for Poland
In general, it can be seen that prospects are very good. Successful cooperation between Polish and German representatives, as well as keen activity from cultural institutes in the area of translation funding (see: Book Market Contact Office in Warsaw) justify the hope that rights and licence sales will flourish.

Documentation of title production depends primarily on the figures produced since 1984 by the Syrian National Bibliography.
Having generally ceased to compile bibliographic data on publications, UNESCO has no reliable earlier data on Syria either.The ALESCO regional data are highly incomplete and therefore of no use. Syrian book production rose to 1,800 titles per annum through to 2000, but has declined again since then, with a total of 1,138 titles in 2004.

The data featured in the study "Comercio Interior del Libro en España 2009" incorporates figures from all private Spanish publishers that are members of a trade association.
n 2009, 889 Spanish publishers met these criteria. That’s around 53% of the 1,677 publishers that have registered an ISBN. But the full number of ISBN registrants includes any private company that has published at least one book. Thus it is safe to assume that the associations represent a majority of publishers that publish actively and continuously.

In 2009, the book industry was impacted by fallout from the severe financial crisis in Spain. Total domestic turnover from book sales totalled 3,109.58 million euros. After the industry experienced asteady increase in sales over the last few years (2008: 3,185.5 million euros; 2007: 3,123.17; 2006: 3,014 million euros), it reported a 2.4% decline in sales for the first time in 2009. However, one
positive development is evident in the rights and licensing business. From 2008 to 2009, sales in this segment of the business increased by 0.9%. Profits from the sale of copyrights more than quadrupled in one year (139 million euros 2009 compared to 33.6 million euros in 2008).
