Kind of expected more. Almost two years ago it was reported that SilverFin sold 500K worldwide.

The UK probably being the biggest consumer. I would think anyway.

I wish we had further details on exactly how well these do in the US. In my own opinion, it seems the first two novels have gotten very little promotion here; much like the case of the later Raymond Benson novels.

Wonder how well Double or Die will do.

Probably won't find out unless you specifically BookScan it. That's if you can afford that. Publishers don't release the information unless it sold really well. I've read a few articles that even state there's a certain amount of etiquette with BookScan - the numbers aren't widely released for a variety of reasons. This article sums it up pretty good. http://www.slate.com/id/2142810/

Interesting article--I didn't know too much about BookScan before. Thanks, K1.
