[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 5835749, member: 40166"] Ach so. 20 copies is the number of copies added to LibraryThing in 2011. Basically the point was to make it clear (a) that, e.g., Deities and Demigods (3.0) was tied with Adventurer's Vault (4E), and (b) that the difference between Deities and Demigods (3.0) and something at the bottom of the list is a matter of four copies, and thus is probably not statistically significant. True. This is not sales data. But neither the 4E PHB nor the Pathfinder Core Book have been out that long, so those aren't about 20 years. And if there is an uptick versus the long-term average, like for the first list I gave, it's logical to think this is from new purchases, not long-term ownership. (I think everything on the first list was in print; the Complete Masks had a big reprint in Sept. 2010.) Even for the old stuff on the second list, it means that enough people have kept it around and continued cataloging it. I'll be happy to explain it, but yeah, it was data I spent some time accumulating, poked at a couple times, waited a few days, then figured I might as well post it if I spent the time accumulating it.
