Thanks again, Mr. Thorne:
Where do you have access to these book sales numbers? I thought one would have to pay for an NPD Bookscan subscription to get these. If there's another such source, please advise.
Your numbers state the obvious. If one can make $400,000 (at a dollar per copy), then that's pretty big money. I have made $641.00 on The Three Barons. The important point is that prospective readers don't know in advance what the book will say when they buy it. So the huge variance between "lone gunman" books and real and important books is obviously caused by how they are marketed and not about what is inside.
Whether you know it or not, you seem to be arguing on the side of information suppression rather than revelations. Otherwise, you would be advocating for readers to have access to the most diverse set of books, and not for readers to buy based on book sales.
My goal with my book was to put my stuff out there for people "in the know" who will work hard to read it and come away with the truth about the JFK murder.
Obviously, I someone can make $400,000 in royalties by obfuscating, and only $641 by revealing the truth, then liars will be laughing all the way to the bank.
