Assuming your stats are even true, just because books are now only 25% of checkouts rather than, for example, 80%, doesn't necessarily imply that any less books are being checked out (i.e. "disappearing"). It can just as easily mean that *more* of the other things are being checked out while books remain the same. Example: Total number of items checked out: 100 Total number of books checked out: 80 Percentage of books checked out: 80% Total number of items checked out: 320 Total number of books checked out: 80 # same as above Percentage of books checked out: 25% -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
