In the last years many voices have frivolized with the disappearance of bookstores and paper books. If we look at the data published regularly on the publishing world in Spain, I think we can analyze the situation. As has happened with other professions that have suffered a sudden and marked economic decline, architecture books have experienced a setback in the last 15 years, a setback that, above all, can be observed in the average amount of book purchases per person that has fallen by more than 50%. We are witnessing a paradigm shift in which small publishers are pushing the sector that had been slowed down. Traditional publishers have also made a move and have found new formulas to finance their editions. We are witnessing a moment of transformation and evolution of the architecture book that we had not seen in many years and, therefore, a moment far removed from those pessimistic voices that predicted, and continue to do so, the end of the book, and especially the book of architecture.
