36 New Titles Arrive. Two Years Later, Only 6 Remain.

Create a 3:4 vertical, single-page data-journalism infographic on independent bookstores’ inventory choices, titled “36 New Titles Arrive. Two Years Later, Only 6 Remain.”

Owner reads at least one-third of every book; it remains worth buying after two years; keeps two or three books per subject; publishers’ catalogs and short-video recommendations serve solely as references.

Of 36 new titles, the store orders two copies each; 13 drop within three months, 12 remain at 18 months, six after two years, and three join the long-term catalog. Two same-month arrivals: one remains stocked after four years, reordered 12 times for 43 copies (two to four each); the other sells its initial two copies with zero reorders.

Show the two-year elimination as a declining staircase line chart. Label x-axis: Arrival, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 18 Months, 2 Years. Y-axis counts titles on shelves; add brief annotations at three turning points.

A 2022–2026 restocking chart uses hollow circles for each reorder and a solid circle for the final reorder; its legend explains both lines and circle types; reading note: “A downward trend means fewer titles remain.”

Charts use different statistical samples: six titles and 43 copies cannot be compared directly; the initial two-copy order is excluded from reorder counts; the store regularly stocks approximately 900 titles.

Use warm gray-white ground, charcoal-black lettering, pale guides, alternating vermilion and deep teal-blue accents, generous white space.
