Sales of Aquaman books over the ages.
Sales Charts
All sales figures for modern books are approximate. They include pre-orders through Diamond to the North American direct market only. Actual sales may be significantly higher. Re-orders can add 2-10% and newsstand 20-40%, depending on the book. Foreign sales can add another 20%.
There are three different months for every listing: the month solicited, the shipping month, and the cover date. Most sales charts, such as Wizard and Diamond's top 100, use the shipping month. I use the shipping month for the yearly average chart.
Archives and Trade Paperback ranks are from a different list.
Key
- Title & Issue = Title of the book and issue number.
- Rank = The rank by quantity (total number of books) pre-sold via Diamond.
- Sales = The approximate number of books pre-sold via Diamond.
- Dollar = The rank by dollar amount (number of books times price) pre-sold via Diamond.
- Index = The number of books sold in relation to "Batman" (Batman's index is 100).
- Item Code = The Diamond item number, if known. The first five digits indicate month and year solicited.
- Ship Date = The date the book shipped, if known. May not be exact date the book arrived in most stores.
- Cover Date = The date on the front of the book.
- Price = The suggested retail price for the book.
