8.45% of libraries are boycotting.
So 90% are going along with MacMillan.

On a library by library basis they seem to be having an impact but globally...?
So, when you don't have any real stats you make them up. Seriously, someone is very desperate to say "see, we are hurting that evil publisher", yea I don't have any real stats, but my back of the envelop estimate says we cost them $2000 in lost sales to libraries.
