A sales ranking, then some musings on what it might mean:

The most noticeable thing for me is that my emailing book has dropped out of the top sellers and my telephoning books have continued their decline – perhaps because these traditional business skills are becoming less important and/ or less standardised?
On the good news front, the success of my CPE book perhaps shows that this small market has become so underserved by big publishers that it is now a niche worth filling.
More surprising for me, having second editions hasn’t had as much impact as I’d expected. I’d imagined that seeing that a book has gone to second edition would prove that it had enough popularity and staying power to be worth a try, but apparently not… On the other hand, that means first editions have more staying power than I thought they would (though that is unlikely to stop me polishing them up).
