Staggering sales
The local news reported that sales of the latest Harry Potter book have averaged 350,000 copies per hour! That's more than most books sell all totalled. Such an inspiring success story...
(7/19/05--Addendum: today's newspaper reported first days sales averaging 250,000 per hour in the US. Presumably, the higher figure represents worldwide sales.)
(7/20/05--Addendum: another newspaper article reported first day US sales exceeding 275,000 per hour. Are these different stats the result of different data sources or a different interpretation of the same data?)
On the proofreading front: I received feedback on the first pages I proofed--error free. I've proofed more than 100 pages now and have reached the proofreading apprentice level. I wonder what comes next.
