And I’m betting LS didn’t buy a few hundred thousand of his own books.
BTW, some MIT guys did a study of how purchases affect Amazon rankings, and they calculated that a) a single block purchase (of, say, 10,000) is treated like a single purchase; and b) you have to have a heckuva lot of purchases to move a book. No one knows for sure, but our publisher thinks that top 10 on Amazon is many hundred a day, possibly 1,000 a day; and #1 should be good for over 1,000 a day. PHUSA was #1 for over a week!
