I know that 4E is the first time every player in every group I belong to purchased their own copy. Many of the players played 3ed and never bought a single book (cheap bums.. grumble).
I wonder what the ratio is of PH sold vs. DMGs and MMs, since only 1 player would normally require the DMG and MM, whereas everyone would want a copyof the PH?

When we first began talking about buying our books, we had an order for 6 PHBs, 3 DMGs, and 3 MMS. When we actually ordered our books, we ended up with 6 Gift Sets instead.

Yeah! Where are all the haters dumping their books at my local used bookstore?! Promises were made!
My FLGSs (I know nothing about the two UFLGS in my area) seem to sell the 4E stuff pretty fast. I got the last copy of AV just 3 days after it was released (and they said they ordered a lot). They haven't had any problems keeping all of the books in stock either. I think they would agree with Thalmin about what was hot vs not (especially the Character Record Sheets - major disappointment!).

I love my gift set. Best purchase of the year for me! My wife liked the extra PHB I got as she doesn't have to borrow anyone's now.

This is far from any kind of definite, but whenever I visit the Silver Snail (quite a big/well known Comic/Hobby/Game-Store in Toronto) I almost always see someone looking through a 4e book/buying it.

The Silver Snail is a gaming Mecca. Anyone who visits Toronto should visit. Prices are only so-so but the selection is incredible!

Initial sales of the first three books were very high, but initial sales of D&D will almost always be very high. I've said before that they could have taken FATAL and slapped D&D on the cover and it probably would've broken sales records for the core books, and I'll stand beside that.
After that, it's harder to say. About all we, the curious public, can go with is what store owners might care to tell us.

It was great went during the FanExpo late-night sale, and not only were they selling the Boxed Set at American Prices but at 40% off!
Though their AC cut out from the amount of people, so was extremely hot but they were quite nice and bought water bottles for all of us.
And, yes, I quite agree anyone who is into gaming, or well any nerdy stuff should visit it. Two stories of awesomeness, it is quite easy to find too the whole front of the building is painted up with superheroes, etc. It is also on Queen St. West one of the best/most interesting places to shop.
