The guy is an author and this is the meaning of sales he pulls first? really?
Number of sales is what your publisher will tell you. Because they owe you money for every sale done. Because a sale is how many times people clicked the 'buy' button (be it digital, Amazon, or went into a bookstore).
"BookScan numbers" LOL
> there are dramatic differences between 1) lifetime sales, 2) sales in the first 12 months after publication, and 3) sales in any random calendar year.
By the context it's obvious what they mean FFS. This guy can't interpret a tweet and came up with this clickbait crap?
