book inventory

Library holdings list

Book inventory is a record of books held by a library, bookstore, or publisher—tracking titles, quantities, locations, and conditions.

The term also applies to the physical process of counting and verifying stock: We close for book inventory twice a year.

In publishing, book inventory represents unsold copies a company holds as assets.
