![]() ![]() I imagine books would be lower priority than clothes and makeup in their budgets.īut sometimes authors do buy up enough books to get on the best seller list for a month, to jump start sales (gets people interested). If her diehard fans are very young, not all of them have the money to spend on such things. Is it available in electronic form such as Kindle? That would be loads cheaper for the potential buyers and would help get past the price barrier the hardcopy version has. I have no idea how to really interpret the sales figures, although hardcopy books are mostly not selling as well today as in less electronic times. She’s looking very Zoolander in the first picture. It’s okay if your fave doesn’t ace every test. And according to BookScan, which isn’t a complete metric, but it does weight heavily bookstore sales, which is where an art book is most likely to move copies, coffee table books regularly sell over 100,000 copies/year, with the best sellers in the mid-six figure range.Īctors I like make bad movies all the time, but I still like those actors, and I’ll still watch the movies, even though I know they’re bad. A “healthy” book sells around 8-10K copies/month, with a best seller doing 2x or 3x that. That would be a significant loss for a publisher. In a stronger retail period, like summer, you’d have to sell 60-70K per month to qualify as a best seller. Even “nowadays” best sellers in a weak month (usually the beginning of the year, when all retail is down because of post-holiday credit card blues) sell around 20,000 copies. I can’t even handle the complete lack of grasp you people have on publishing. Photos courtesy of Instagram, Fame/Flynet. YAY BUTT SHOTS!!! How many pairs of Spanx do you think she’s wearing here? ![]() Here are some photos of Kim at the airport on Monday. I wonder why no one really cared? Is it because we can see Kim’s self-exploitative selfies for free every day? That being said, they probably expected Selfish to sell better than it did. I don’t think anyone in publishing really expected Selfish to fly off the shelves. As for Kim’s sad little sales record… to be fair to her (I KNOW), it was a coffee-table book, not a novel or something like that. The Kardashian-Jenner clan just sort of half-asses most of their side projects. The reason why Lauren Conrad’s books sell is because LC has invested in ghostwriters who know what they’re doing. Candy reportedly sold 500,000 copies in its first year. In comparison, Lauren Conrad‘s novel L.A. As Radar reported, that book sold just 13,000 copies in its first few months on sale. User Angela called it a “waste of money!”Īt least, however, it didn’t sell as badly as Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s sic-fi novel, Rebels: City of Indra. “A poor tree died for this!” Tracy Young wrote. Sitting at 1,607 in books, it’s ranked only 2.5 stars after 661 customer reviews. What’s more, the book is a critical flop online. Consumer Market Panel currently covers approximately 85% of the print book market and continues to grow.) That represents just 0.8% of Kardashian’s Instagram fans. But reps for Nielsen Bookscan told Radar exclusively that so far, it has only sold 32,000 copies. The book was released to much fanfare and social media promotion in May, and as of mid-July Kardashian was still promoting the book via Instagram posts. Kim Kardashian has 41 million Instagram followers, but has learned that her online popularity didn’t translate into huge sales for her book of selfies, Selfish. And guess what? Even though it got mediocre-to-good reviews (no joke), the book bombed: We had seen some of the photos before, but most were not-previously published. Anyway, you know how Kim Kardashian is the queen of selfies (see above)? She’s so selfie-obsessed that she created a coffee-table book full of selfies. If you gave a cat a buttload of Botox and a shovel-full of makeup. NO REALLY, why does her face look like this? I swear, she looks just like a cat. ![]() Loved this look did over the weekend! I rarely do a colored shadow but it really makes your eyes pop! Tutorial soon on Ī photo posted by Kim Kardashian West on at 7:24am PDT ![]()
