In Hurriyet they report that Book production on rise in Turkey, which sounds good.
Hey, "More than 561 million copies of books were published in Turkey last year" !
Alas, a mere "3 percent were adult fiction books". By comparison: 71 per cent were "educational books" -- and "9 percent were faith books".
When faith-book-production outnumbers fiction by three to one ... not good.
By comparison, US numbers from 2013 had fiction at 16.57 per cent of traditional book production -- with "religion" titles a still way over-represented 6.12 per cent.
