Man Booker shortlist sales figures

       The winner of this year's Man Booker Prize will be announced today, and in The Telegraph Anita Singh notes that one title towers above the others -- at least as far as UK sales figures goes, as American short-listed novel outsells rivals.
       Yes:

Karen Joy Fowler's novel, We Are All Completely Besides Ourselves, has sold more than three times the rest of the Booker shortlist combined.
It has shifted 55,664 copies so far, more than 20,000 of those since the shortlist was announced. Her rivals have sold a combined 16,710 copies, according to latest figures.

       Amazingly:

Her nearest sales rival is Ali Smith's How To Be Both, available only in hardback and released more recently, with a mere 4,669 copies sold.

       And previous winner Howard Jacobson's J has been an impressive dud, with only 3,263 copies sold.
       I can't imagine ever getting to this, but you can get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
