US copyright industries are biggest exporters and turnover is $1 Trillion.

This surprising report places the copyright industries as a major

for the US, but I am sure this is reflected—probably to a lesser 
extent—in the UK and other western countries.

It is really nice to know that we are part of such a vast activity, even if books themselves might be a smallish part.
