How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames: "1982 and 2001 publishers had no mechanism to figure out how many copies were sold by books published by compeitors.

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames: "Times Non-Fiction list its first week out, knocking Barbara Walters’ kiss-and-tell-memoir (Audition, Knopf) down to #2, despite the sensational media her book garnered. (For a compelling article on bestsellerdom, please see The Guardian).
