The Book Archive is a specialized tool within the Podly software suite, designed for those interested in the print-on-demand book market. Think of it as a historical library of book sales data, ranging from the year 2017 to the present. Unlike databases that focus on current listings, the Book Archive allows you to delve into the past to uncover which books have been best-sellers and which have not.

Here are the functionalities that the Book Archive offers:
Search by Date: Interested in what was selling well in a specific month or year? Input the date range and discover top-selling books during that period.
Book Categories: Unlike the Merch Archive, this focuses solely on books, allowing you a more targeted analysis of past trends in this specific market.
Seasonal Trends: Easily filter data based on recurring annual events, such as holidays, to anticipate future sales opportunities.
Plan for the Future: Armed with knowledge about what sold well in the past, you can better prepare for what might sell well in the future.
