[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 8098998, member: 4881"] I found an I-think-interesting method for trying to determine the relative sales of the various D&D books released in 5e so far. I know that some of the best selling titles are listed in the Top 100 charts...but that doesn't help with many of the others. My theory is that you could use the number of ratings for each book as a rough guide for how they have sold in relation to each other. I am not sure if ratings "fall off" over time so my data may be flawed...but its pretty easy data to access to at least get a feel for how the books are selling in relation to each other. The top 5 seem to slot in the way I would think they would, so I am hoping the data is somewhat useful. I claim no analytics...just publishing the data I found...
