Can I just point out that people living in the Pacific region (Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, etc, also read books. Occasionally, we even write them. It would be nice to be included next time.
I’ve approved the comment. It would be much more effective to have delivered it to the creators rather than a random re-posting. Also, when I have worked with these data is often very very difficult to get national data that puzzles together – especially library circulation and book sales data. Alternatively, try it creating it yourself and I’ll post it.
