Selling Well on Amazon UK

28 Aug

This seems pretty cool: U2 – A Diary is currently #2 in sales on Amazon UK in the U2 category. That gets updated regularly, so here’s a screenshot in case it changes soon:

Number one is U2 Show, which is on a clearance price of only £5 UKP – no wonder it’s at #1.

I suppose this is all relative. If UK book buyers aren’t buying many U2 titles, this may not indicate good pre-orders whatsoever. But it still looks cool. :)

You’re Not Bidding Because You Want the REAL THING … Right?

My friend Declan emailed this link to me: U2 *A Diary* Rare Promo Pack + PR*

Yep, someone is selling a little press kit about U2 – A Diary on eBay UK. How crazy is that??!! I believe this is a press kit that Omnibus put together while taking the book around to the various publishing industry trade shows, trying to convince booksellers to order lots of copies. :)

That link won’t last forever, so here are a couple screenshots for the archives.

And then here’s some of the description:

I’d feel all proud about this, like “I’m famous” … except no one has placed any bids. ;)
