My best friend just bought his youngest son his own PHB last weekendIt's insane that after a decade they still hover around selling 6-7 thousand books a month. One heck of a fat "long tail".
Pretty crazy numbers considering that we have seen pages from the new PHB even.PHB is at 379 out of all books sold in amazon US.
I thought it was a good time to capture this after the ICV2 report dropped.
At $26 us.

I think it’s also a reinforcing feedback loop.For those who are wondering why WotC is insistent about sticking with 5e, this thread is pretty much all you need to see. They just want to keep that momentum going.
I think it’s also a reinforcing feedback loop.
The more WotC called 5e the last edition the more people felt good buying it at the long tail end and the more it appeals to WotC to keep it going.
Given that this book has a replacement coming out later this year that is pretty insane.PHB is at 379 out of all books sold in amazon US.
