The Children's market is heading for its second biggest full year in value terms, dipping just 2.4% on the same period in 2022. At 41.9 million books sold for £255.8m up to 9th September, 2023 looks set to become only the second year to bring in over £400m, after 2022 surpassed the milestone to become the biggest full year for value of all time.
