I was analyzing sales stats from our distributor today, and this year we've gotten a noticeable uptick in sales through book stores. This jibes with conversations I had with many booksellers at BEA and ComicCon who have had great success hand selling Unshelved books to their book nerd customers.
It's not a coincidence that I bring this up just as I'm paying the last bill for reprinting volumes 2-4. A batch of new orders would help defray said expense, as well as free up some space in our dangerously overcrowded storage unit. But I wouldn't try to sell you our books unless I was sure you could sell them in turn. Promise.
