Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Mr Gray]

Wrong again sadie.

The 'boot  in'.

The mccanns and only the mccanns are responsible for what happened to Madeleine, no one else, and not a mythical abductor.

but the type of crime has not been ascertained...

[stephen25000]

From Blacksmith....

'the manifestly second-rate quality of the book’s  research, the absence of anything new, the crippling admission by the authors that they’d given undertakings to the parents in advance.'

[Brietta]

It is my understanding that LOOKING for MADELEINE is at the top of another major outlet's bestseller chart.

So how many then, we already know about Amazon.

    A lot more than twenty.

In my opinion what S&S have held back on in this book - mindful that an active investigation into a missing child could otherwise be compromised - will be worth reading in their follow up.
As will be the furore created in certain quarters by the publication of LOOKING For MADELEINE and the nest of vipers they have upturned.

Should even be worth a penny or two of your money ... who knows you might even recognise yourself under another guise.

I'm going to publicise the other outlet to open it to troll attack ??? ... in your dreams bubba.

Rubbish, just give their numbers.

Remember, Amazon is the largest online seller, if I'm not mistaken.

Still waiting for the book sales figures.

104 copies on kindle from Amazon.co.uk, up from August and possibly as a result of the publicity surrounding Summers book. The hardback though has sold somewhere in the region of 6 copies which is hardly healthy.

Kate's book has sold approximately 170 copies across three formats on Amazon alone in the month of September, according to Novelrank (a website you seem to set great store by).  The fact that it has sold any copies at all in hardback is amazing, seeing as the paperback is cheaper, the fact that 170 copies were sold from one source alone in the month of September - a book that was first published years ago is pretty impressive, deride it as you no doubt will.  I'm sure Smiffy would be very happy if his book was still selling in such numbers

Well this puts things in perspective....sort of!
I love the dog handler and Melton Mowbray connections
"JT Edson, who has died aged 86, was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback".

Then you will have a long wait, as you know publishers who are the ones to know, are exceedingly coy about such numbers.
You will just have to wait and see where they are on the listings ... and I reiterate ... they are doing very well from at least one outlet I have found ... which I will not name for the reaon I have already given.

in other words sales are poor, and in all likelihood, S & S will be returning some of their advance.

Shame, innit.

You soooo wish ...  ... as I said, wait and see.

You do pick on the strangest things to get fixated on though.

I'm not the one who was parading the book as a great success.

Now pray tell, which group of people were ?

Tough question that .
