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. ---------------------ɹooןɟǝɔuɐp ----------------------------------ǝɥʇ oʇ -----------------------------------------dn uo -------------------------------------------------ǝɯoɔ |

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.
