Is there someplace online where one can track the actual sales figures and gross sales revenues for books--not talking about top 10 or 20 lists but someplace with the actual numbers?

If not online, is there some place off line that maintains this information?

When I was in a book marketing class last year, our professor would give us copies of Bookscan every week. I know you can register for those numbers, but I am sure it is rather expensive. It lists the info, just like SoundScan, and was started early last year? I would like to know if there's another place like it as well, I'll do some poking around because I miss that information!

You're welcome! Glad I could help. The site doesn't list much other than how to contact and order the service...if you have a friend in the business, see if they won't make a copy of the numbers for you each week (I guess that's your best bet).
