<<How many of those 300,000 are books claiming to be fact, and not compilations of data (dictionaries, encyclopedia, research reports, etc)?>>

I don't get it.  Aren't "books claiming to be fact" the same as compilations of data, which also "claim to be fact?"

Don't you mean, "How many of the 300,000 are fact and how many are fiction?"

A biography or autobiography "claim to be fact" and are not just compilations of data.

Such as a book about McCain or a book about Frey.
