Look, find someone with access to BookScan and check it out yourself. Sales are broken down by region.
Ahhh the great dodge of the person without any actual data to back up his BS, the ever popular “go look it up”. Sorry bub, you’re the one making the assertion it’s YOUR job to prove it. of course so far in this discussion you have offered absolutely no proof about your ever evolving 100% false statement yet so I won’t hold my breath.
The facts remain the same: books are NOT a luxury, the time to read books is NOT a luxury, the majority of books are NOT geared towards the “educated urban” demographic, the fact that some guy you think will win a Nobel can’t sell books has no meaning. There’s no there there in your argument. You have no facts, you are wrong, man up and admit it.
