      It's actually 2.2 million copies since January. But, hey, who's counting? http://j.mp/2AzIU5w pic.twitter.com/EF1lWUpIW2

      Awesome. Just to put this in perspective: selling 50,000 copies within a year of publication counts as a strong success in most non-fiction publishing. Most academic books sell less than 5,000 copies worldwide.

      5,000 seems so...low

      And most of those are usually sales to university libraries.... :(

          Makes my dream of writing books sound slightly less appealing

          But I'm a writer, so I'm not good with numbers anyway. What does "5000" even mean?

          It probably means after all costs the writer makes around £10000 assuming the cost is £5 per book. Publishers, editors and manufacturing gets the rest.

          Nah, academic books cost a lot of money. All my teachers in college wrote their own books as a guarantee of sales. My tax teacher made a new addition every two years and the books cost $300 a pop. Add 500 students a semester, 3 semesters a year, and you have a healthy sideline.

          Oh yeah I agree totally with that. I was thinking more about the public academic books like 12 rules or sapiens. Online you can pick those up for around £7-10.

          Where I'm guessing they aren't read.
