My latest book sales figures

Lulu.com updated my sale figures whilst I had no Internet access, as a result of which, I've only just got around to downloading and analysing them.

In February, my book sales looked like this:


This month they look like this:


There are no great surprises. My wargame books continue to enjoy steady sales in all formats, and I hope that this will continue for the foreseeable future.

    I wonder if the lower proportion of sales that are e-books for the Portable Napoleonic Wargame represents a group of potential purchasers who are waiting for a Kindle version rather than the PDF? I've got the paperback but will also buy a Kindle version if Lulu's software ever lets you publish one.

      Mike Hall,

      I'm still waiting for Lulu.com to sort out their software problem. I try to set up an eBook edition about ever fortnight, but as yet it does not seem to be working.

      I'll announce the publication of the eBook edition as and when it becomes available.

      All the best,

      Bob

    HI Bob,
    Well - good going there- well done indeed. The Soft Backed books are going well too- with 74 Hard Back 'Madasahatta'- this is great! Cheers. KEV.

      Kev Robertson (Kev),

      I never expected the hardback editions of my books to sell that well, but the paperbacks have sold even better than I hoped that they would.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Great to see your books selling so well Bob.

    I've a seed of an idea for publishing a lulu book myself. Could I please email you with a few questions as I'd like to draw on your expertise.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      Pete.,

      Please contact me by email and I'll do anything that I can to help. (I did a presentation about self-publishing at COW2018, and could easily send you a copy.)

      All the best,

      Bob

    What is wrong with people? Why aren't they buying La Ultima Cruzada?

      Trebian,

      The hardcover edition has been heavily discounted today by Amazon UK, and I'm hoping that will encourage more people to buy the book.

      All the best,

      Bob
