Most of the important things in human life start with a book. Therefore, development of the book market is an indicator of spiritual and to some degree economic progress of the country. Since Ukraine has got its independence, a book has been struggling for a place in the market, in the readers’ libraries and in their hearts.

Nowadays, one can claim that Ukrainian book market moves onward steadily. It was for the first time since 2003 that the number of printed books per citizen is measured again in tenth. According to Ukrainian Book Chamber’s statistics, about 22,557 names of the books were printed in the country, with the total number of copies of about 45 million 58 thousand and 300. The number of book names is higher for almost 1%, while the total number of copies is 7,1% lower then in the previous year 2009. More books were printed in Ukrainian. Ukrainian books in 2010, compared to 2009, grew in number by 0,4%. Book publishers report that the money turnover in the book market is increasing.

And if you are thoroughly examining the cover of any book, studying quality of the paper, looking closely at the colour shade and very attentively reading the text, thinking over each line, then…

Yes!
