HELP: Make Me Look Smart
Spiraling out of
my
remarks on Matt Maxwell's resolution for
Shonen Jump
Boosters, he and I have been going back and forth in the comments
thread wondering how to figure out the
actual sales figures
for the popular manga anthology -- you know, how many copies are
actually being purchased by customers rather than returned to the
publisher. We know that actual sales data for mags is tracked (in
order to establish circulation figures for ad sales) but I couldn't
find anything on
Shonen Jump in the free portion of the
Audit Bureau of Circulations site
(although I did learn that the OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE has a paid
circulation of 344,731). So I'm stumped. Anyone know how to
figure this out? Anyone from Viz want to volunteer the
info? Heck, even general info on how newsstand sales operate
would be greatly appreciated.
Please forward all replies to me via
email and I'll pass
along any
interesting info as though I came up with it on my own. Thank you
very much.
