  • Bookstore sales are up 6.1% through the first six months of the year, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
  • Sales at bookstores broke higher last year with a 1.9% gain after six straight years of declines. Adding more categories outside of books at some chains likely helped to push up the revenue tally.
  • A subtle shift by consumers away from e-readers to now cool again printed books is also partially behind the resurgence.
  • The impact of the development on Barnes & Noble (BKS -0.1%) will be revealed when the company reports earnings on September.
