Hi Rick,
We have released aggregated data for all analysis which is available in PDF and Excel formats from the report landing page. We are unable to release the full data for title by title analysis as the non-OA title data is commercially sensitive.

Today Springer Nature published a report called The OA effect: How
does open access affect the usage of scholarly books?
This report is the first major comparative analysis of usage data for
open access (OA) and non-OA scholarly books. Our findings establish
that there is a performance benefit from publishing a book OA as they
are downloaded seven times more, cited 50% more and mentioned online
ten times more.
The interviews we conducted with authors and funders also revealed
some common themes around why they publish and fund open access books,
from increased visibility and wider dissemination to ethical
motivations.
