The charts below show the percentage of five kinds of books sold by a bookseller 
between 1972 and 2012. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the 
main points and make comparisons where relevant. 
In 1972, there was an equal sale of adult fiction, children’s fiction and biographies, which 
constituted 20% each. Travel books had the least sale of 15%, whereas all other books had the 
maximum sale of 25%.
In 1992, a quarter of the sales were of adult fiction, which was a rise of 5% from the figures 
on 1972. The sale of children’s fiction and travel grew by 2% and 3% respectively, whereas 
that of biography and other books dropped by 5% each. 
The sale of adult fiction almost doubled after another two decades (2012), and reached 45%. 
Children’s fiction had slightly more retail (25%) than that in 1992. Together, adult and 
children’s fiction, dominated the market with a sale of just under three quarters. The sale of 
all other categories fell markedly and together made up for just over a quarter of the sales.
Overall, fiction gained popularity, while biographies, travel books and other miscellaneous 
books lost their public appeal over the given period of four decades.
