Information Services
BookData has a history and reputation for providing high-quality information for books (and other published media) in a timely, accurate and comprehensive form for all English-language titles published worldwide. Nielsen Book collects title information from publishers in over 70 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and we work with data providers in the US to ensure we supply the most comprehensive listing of titles regardless of the publisher’s size, location or speciality. Each year we add over 831,400 titles to our database and last year made 57.1 million data changes. We then aggregate the data to provide a succinct title record; this information is then available in a range of services to booksellers, wholesalers and other organizations worldwide.
