Stealthy toilet posted it recently to mock Pat and his awful book sales
Wonder if this years media tour pumped up da 2023 numbas a lil bit
Zarbon rules.
It has sections for some audiobooks and some ebooks.Bookscan only covers retail print sales, correct? He would have sold some books online. He also seems to have books in a lot of libraries..but those sales only happen once.
Does this include his handselling numbers?
Thanks.It has sections for some audiobooks and some ebooks.
Bookscan themselves say they cover about 80% of the market so there is room for error.
These numbers will not include
ebook sales through various retailers.
some audiobooks
library books (I did a rough scour through the US and canadian library system + United kingdom to get some numbers. I doubt in total it is over 2000 copies for all his titles.)
His legendary handselling at conventions
He has indicated previously that he negotiated different rights for the ebook and audiobooks separate from his publisher.
Without knowing his numbers for these retailers it would be hard to gauge the income generated from that. Suffice to say, from his physical copies the royalties are a couple of Meatloaf Units annually. He is most likely only collecting royalties on 2 of his books, the rest have unlikely passed the threshold of copies that need to be sold. Especially if fatty is to be believed that he was paid 6 figures for his TOR, they are a long long way from that. Particulary when all these ebooks and audiobooks that he claims to sell wouldn'g count towards that.
Hilariously that while that was a good move to do for fatty (back then). Now it will work against him. No publisher will pick him up on his retail copies sold and would want the full rights to ebook and audio. Will pats stubbornness work against him (again)?
If we were to double his sales, he would be eligible to royalties on 1 maybe 2 more books.
He would have sold 12,000 copies from 6 books over 8+ years.
I bet Ade is seething she let that one go..
He’d say that, too. Jesus, what an oblivious pig.The industry standard for measuring sales is completely wrong, stlaker.
