Certainly is encouraging and an eye-opener for someone like myself who has yet to snag an agent. I do get that writing a book is producing a product, and that doesn't offend me, nor take away from the artistry of what I'm doing. The more I know, the more likely I am to make a good decision in the long run, I'd say.

This is really helpful to understand how book sales works! Thank you for this. It especially makes a lot of sense that book sales would continue if the author publishes a second or third book, and without that long term view, it's hard to understand the numbers.
