Because I was on a cruise when Lulu.com sent me last month's sales figures, I had not looked at how well (or badly) my books were selling since the beginning of November. At that point my sales figures looked like this:
The current sale figures (which were downloaded before THE PORTABLE NAPOLEONIC WARGAME went on sale) look like this:
The 'core' PORTABLE WARGAME books continue to sell well, but I was gratified to see that HEXBLITZ has developed a following, even though it was only published so that I could show other people how to go about writing and publishing their own books.
It will be interesting to see if THE PORTABLE NAPOLEONIC WARGAME book sells as well as the other books in the series. If it does, it will certainly encourage me to publish THE PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME book that I have been planning to write.

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteThese latest figures are very encouraging -if 'The Portable Wargame' is anything to go by - your NAPOLEONIC Book should do very well indeed...all the best with sales. Cheers. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteCheers! With luck, it will sell reasonably well. I can but hope!
All the best,
Bob
Well done Bob.

ReplyDeleteAdelaide Gamer,
DeleteNever in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to sell more than a few copies of my books ...
All the best,
Bob
Bob, you've clearly found a gap in the market for elegant grid-based rules. I look forward to your expansion into all sorts of interesting periods! Best wishes, Anthony
ReplyDeleteAnthony Morton (Anthony),
DeleteCheers! There are already plans afoot to publish Alan Saunders' ECW version of the rules, and I hope to write a PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME book later this year.
All the best,
Bob
