Will Runs the Numbers

So we decided to crunch our book sales numbers and the results yielded some very interesting data.

World War 1990: Battle of the Three Seas came out on 1 May. Sales of Three Seas, and all other books combined this year peaked in June. Since then Three Seas sales declined by 22%, 24% and 22% through September. Total book sales declined by 12%, 13% and 20%. As noted previously, sales stunk in April, so this wasn't because of the Wuahn Virus from Wuhan China.

About the only other correlation we can find is, June, July and August being summer time here in the Northern Hemisphere, these were people's summer reading.  Alright, our third biggest market by country is Australia, which, for the geographically challenged, is in the Southern Hemisphere. Let's see what the number say...

Nope, Australian sales numbers roughly correlate with the rest of the English speaking world. The bottom blue line is Three Seas. As with other Anglosphere nations, sales of the other five books in the World War 1990 universe match the Three Seas total. This means that Australian readers are acting like American, British and Canadian readers. 

Sales are weakest in Canada. Now before you people blame Prime Minister Justin*, Canadian sales were last under Harper, too. Which is not to excuse Justin, he's the biggest wanker in the Anglosphere. Also, Fidel Castro is his real dad. Do the image search. 

Anyway, for now we conclude sales are great this year because Three Seas is great.
