Only 6 Titles Left After Two Years

Create a 3:4 portrait data journalism graphic to accompany a selection report from an independent bookstore. The headline reads “36 New Titles Arrive; Only 6 Remain After Two Years”. The selection rule is simple: the owner has read at least a third of each book and still finds it worth selling two years later; only two or three titles per topic are kept, and publisher catalogs and short-video recommendations serve only as reference.

The first data set tells the elimination process: 36 new titles arrived, each with an initial order of 2 copies; 13 titles were cut within three months, 12 remained at a year and a half, and 6 remained at two years, 3 of which entered the long-term list. Show this as a stepped descending line, with the x-axis reading arrival, three months, six months, one year, eighteen months and two years, and the y-axis showing titles on shelf. Pick three key turning points and give each a one-line note. The second data set compares two books that arrived in the same month. Four years later only one is still in the store: it has been restocked 12 times for 43 copies in total, 2 to 4 copies each time; the other sold out its initial 2 copies and was never restocked. The restock chart covers 2022 to 2026; hollow circles mark each restock and a solid circle marks the last one, with a legend explaining both lines and both dot types.

Note below the charts: the two charts use different samples, so 6 titles and 43 copies are not directly comparable; the initial 2-copy order does not count as a restock; the store keeps about 900 titles standing. A warm gray-white base with light and dark grays, with two saturated accent colors each highlighting one data set and restraint elsewhere, leaving generous white space.
