Yes, the editor had told me. This corresponds to a specific circulation of 2.

So to date: 5 + 000 + 3 + 000 + 3 books drawn ...

Telephone exchange with my editor. I took the opportunity to ask for the sales figures:

- bookstore sales (including FNAC, Amazon ...): 11 sales ["less than 600% returns, that's very good!"]
- France-Loisirs took 4 (they manage separately; it is the model that was sold to them; it is they who shoot, distribute, etc ...)
- I sold 1 directly

One more comment on Amazon ...

Very fair for the photos - but it's not the same price anymore! A choice ... If we disseminate photos, we must print everything on better paper and especially with 4 machine runs, well calibrated. It is therefore much more expensive.

I really like "understand before acting" because it was exactly my intention: to explain rather than to give recipes.

The classification, for its part, is softening !!! The holidays are over. It's time for calendars!

Ah Super....

Sounds good to me, doesn't it?
Especially for a work like this

She gave you comparisons with other books present or past in the same genre?

I delved into the subject a little: beyond 5000 it would be a best seller whatever the category, so in the garden you are a Phenomenon ... : Mrgreen:

Distribution of sales by sector

In value as in volume, the three main editorial categories that dominate the market are literature, with almost a quarter of sales, followed by young people and practical books.



Otherwise a little overview of the "garden" market in the broad sense (excluding literature)
http://www.promojardin.com/wp-content/u ... N-2017.pdf


sales, on average, for a first novel vary between 500 and 800 copies.

So it is a best seller :!:



As an aside
While researching I came across a namesake ... you know
On these paths where our footsteps have faded from Louise Helmstetter

I confirm. My editor said to me: "You are one of the rare authors who exceed 10" ...

I know Louise Helmstetter from her book. She is a gypsy who married a Helmstetter very close to my home village, so probably a very distant cousin, but whom I did not know. At the end of her life, she lived in Barr, 15 km from here. A book about a truly amazing life! Character"...

Many solutions

- There are some who live on it ... and therefore who shoot everything that moves ...

- It can also be an opportunistic editor's command and the Chavanne in question is perhaps the nickname of a negro.

I will be curious to know if all the lunar calendars give the same dates and what differentiates them between them and what changes in the accompaniment of said calendar year after year
