Not only did publishing houses produce significant book collections, this period also saw the arrival of bestsellers such as the alarmist A Warning of Taiwan Strait War. The contemporaneous economic boom arising out of the growth of information technology did much to expand the publishing industry. The number of new titles published jumped from 4,565 in 1980 to 16,156 in 1990 and 34,533 in 2000.
同一時期由資訊科技產業帶動的經濟榮景，更有力地支撐起持續擴大的圖書出版市場，使台灣的新書出版數量，由 1980 年的 4,565 種、1990 年的 1 萬 6,156 種，迅速攀升到 2000 年的 3 萬 4,533 種。
