Explanation of some changes
changeI updated the statement about selling 25,000 copies a year, because that was as of 1998, not now.
In the sentence about the short story collection, I removed the link to "collect" and changed it to "book" (with no link). The reason is that "Collect" links to something about the hobby of collecting, not the practice of collecting short works into one volume.
Where the text talked about the book being printed, I changed that to "published", with a link to "Publishing". These are two different things: a book can be printed many times, but it is only published once (or at least only once for a given version of the book). --Auntof6 (talk) 04:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- If the information is available, it would be better to state the total number of copies a book or series of books has sold, rather than how many it was selling in the late 90s. Jim Michael (talk) 13:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- True. This is just what you get sometimes when an old source is used. --Auntof6 (talk) 14:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
