The three pie charts illustrate the distribution of book

sales

by genre over a span of four decades, from 1972 to 2012.

Overall

, it is evident that the popularity of adult

fiction

significantly increased during

this

period,

while

the

sales

proportions of travel books, biographies, and other genres experienced a decline. In 1972, adults'

fiction

comprised 20% of total book

sales

, which rose dramatically to 25% in 1992, eventually surging to 45% by 2012. Meanwhile, children's

fiction

started strong at 25% but saw a decline to 20% in 1992, and only partially recovered to 25% in the final year.

This

indicates a shifting preference among readers towards adult

fiction

, with children's books losing some market share

initially

, yet stabilizing towards the end of the period.

Conversely

, the genres of biography, travel, and others exhibited a downward trend over the same timeframe. Biographies

initially

accounted for 15% of book

sales

in 1972 but experienced a slight increase to 18% in 1992 before plummeting to 10% in 2012.

Similarly

, travel books were represented by 20% in 1972 but dropped to 15% in 1992 and

further

declined to 8% by 2012. The category labelled 'others' began at 20%, rose to 22%, and culminated at 12%, reflecting a dwindling interest in these remaining genres in juxtaposition to the rising appeal of adult

fiction
