Jerome,

A positive Book to Bill means that the backlog is increasing.

That may or may not be positive.

Generally, an increasing backlog means increasing billing / shipments in subsequent periods.

To maintain a positive Book to Bill would imply that Orders are also growing.

Note that Semi seasonally adjusts its numbers in addition to reporting a 3 month rolling average. Thus, it's impossible to derive any specific inferences from a single data point.

JMHO,
Ian.
