The British returns for 1924 show that 12,706 books were produced, which is considerably higher than any previous record made in Britain. Nearly a quarter of this output is fiction, and juvenile literature comes next, with a total of 1016. The 155,000,000 tickets collected on the 7000 miles of the London and North Eastern Railway last year would, placed end to end, cover 531 miles.
