[QUOTE="paranoid, post: 2183835, member: 13419"] Let's have a look at some numbers: [u]Today's Amazon.xy sale ranks for PHB3.5, english / local language[/u] UK: 1,143 / - US: 1,159 / - CA: 3,798 / - DE: 12,494 / 9,717 FR: 18,393 / 31,626 JP: 176,592 / 9,582 of course, these figures mean nothing :D . Unless you make the assumption that a) each country orders the same percentage of books via amazon and b) the market is not "saturated" and the growth is linear, which is probably not the case. Why doesn't amazon provide total sale numbers? The only conclusion you can draw is that with the exception of france (the book is not in stock there in the moment), the localized versions apparently sell better than the english ones. what stumped me: [u]Amazon.de sale rank for DSA 4 Basisbox[/u] GE: 31 (!) and it's out since 2001... -p. P.S.: I'm from Germany and own the english books, of course ;) [/QUOTE]
