[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8555433, member: 7015558"] So as others have pointed out, current sales doesn't ready provide that much value for measuring ALL sales. The more recent releases will skew heavily as the Amazon ranknig is based much more on more recent sales. So weirdly, the more reliable metric... is number of reviews! It's not perfect, as a polarizing/controversial book may get a lot of reviews that don't equate sales, but normally it does point that a book with more reviews, has more sales overall. The book with the most reviews? The Player's Handbook of course, with 39,403. Then the Dungeon Master's Guide at 22,742, and the Monster Manual at 21,784. Makes sense, they're the core books! Then it's Xanathar's at 19,667. Tasha's isn't far behind, 18,612. Then the Starter Set at 16,204, and the Essentials Kit, 14,262. Then it's... Volo guide to Monsters! 12,179. The most reviewed setting is Wildemount at 7,946, but Eberron is close behind at 7,922. And of course, the most reviewed adventure is Curse of Strahd, 5,570. [/QUOTE]
