ASK & DISCUSS

Hi Shooters,

Anyone know where I can obtain, free/buy, information about book sales/readership/statistics? Fiction only.

For example - looking for readership numbers or books so…

Have you tried Publisher's Weekly. They're the publication that lists books and reviews. If they don't actually list the figures I'm sure they can tell you where to get them.

I have done …

I would like to know how much would it be a decent price to charge for a music video, lets say shot in one day. Would £300-400 be a decent sum to charge?
