The Book Strategy Group (BSG), an ad hoc committee representing the interests of Canadian writers and publishers, commissioned public opinion research on current attitudes of English-speaking Canadians about the cultural and economic value of written works.
The research explores matters of pricing, copyright law, file-sharing, ownership and lending models, as well as views on Canadian content, and assessments of knowledge and valuation of self-published books and traditionally published books. This report presents a summary of findings.
