no, books are not finished
the opposite is true
it's just there are so many options now that buyers are spread thin, so not many individual books sell a lot, unless it's YA trash or pulp

Also a lot of lists don't account for digital, and used sales.

Too many options is the American way.
200 channels and nothing to watch.
