The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!  Dear Miss Snark,
Stolen from POD-DY mouth:   Of those 1.2 million, 950,000 sold
fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000
copies. Only 25,000 books sold more than 5,000 copies. Fewer
than 500 sold more than 100,000 copies. Only 10 books sold more
than a million copies each. The average book in the United
States sells about 500 copies    2. Bookscan doesn't measure
sales at WalMart.    5. There is no such animal as the average
book.    Anonymous said...  Thank you, Miss Snark, for saving
those who choose to drown themselves in nonsense. I've read
about this ad nauseum elsewhere.  Listen people, just write the
best damn book you can and leave the statistics to the sports
junkies. If you persevere,you will make it.  Inkwolf said...  I
wouldn't panic either, but does that include Amazon.com?
Because I do a bit of the buying for a small library, and find
Amazon simpler to use than (and probably as inexpensive as) some
of the library-oriented vendors who
