To give you an idea of how well it sells, I saw it at Costco, one of those warehouse stores, the other day. Costco sells very few books -- only the ones which can be expected to sell like crazy.

When the book started to hit the market it was hard to find a copy. Now, it is everywhere. Two B. Dalton software stores near me always seem to have at least 20 or so copies on display. I would guess that the Bantam figure includes the copies that are sitting in bookstore inventories.
