I'm guessing that Nielsen, being a consulting joint, tailors their stuff to
specific publishing houses. So this may be just the UK end and not include
the US publisher's sales.

Anyway, I've dredged up some rather vague numbers that probably aren't worse
than twice or half as much as they should be, and I'm calling it a day.
They'll have to do. If whoever reads my piece wants something whacky like
the Truth, they'll just have to read something else. (I'm told there's a
doctoral program in Truthful Marketing Statistics at the University of
Oxymoronia.)

Baaaaa,
