I was amazed to hear on the program that a hardcover Canadian book generally sells 3-5,000 copies--if it does well. They then said that some Giller winning books have sold 80-120,000 copies. I have no idea what the small publisher for this year's winner will do if it is true that they can only produce 1000 a week. Of course they are "handmade" so maybe they will contract with someone else.
