Hello Alex,

Is there a reason you are asking this question? Are you thinking of proposing a book?

Ingram (http://www.ingram.com), a large book distributor, used to have a phone number that you could dial, punch in an ISBN number, and then hear Ingram's sales figures for that book for the current month. But that's only Ingram, and I don't know the number, nor do I know whether the service is still available. Most publishers don't divulge sales figures.

Best regards,

Jonathan Gennick
