However, this time I counted the dots and I see the drop starts at 1911-1912. I said 1914 because I assumed the drop was because of WW1.

If so, perhaps there were fewer books being published during this period (say 1914-1918) during wartime shortages and during a period when so many men (mostly all men in that day) were buried in trenches or fed into the meatgrinder of war.
