Anyone know how many copies gets you on a list like this?

that and also what kind of press do you have to be to get on there? Cause most of the more famous small/indie presses aren’t on there.

these guys are all distributed by spd. others indie presses are distributed by consortium, random house, etc.

I doubt it takes too many, since the list is for that one site, right? Wasn’t the print run for first ed Light Boxes, 200-300? So.

Yikes re no. 50! Reminded me of that horribly hilarious movie (sans the s in title). I’ll never forget that one scene, which I saw years before I’d ever heard the name Lorena Bobbitt.

500-600, i think.

i have from a fairly reliable source that SPD only got ~70 copies of Light Boxes.

Wow, fantastic list, great to see so many familiar names on here.

In case people are still curious, i have a few Calamari titles on this list, by rough count I sent about 300-350 copies of Motorman (#3) in 2009 and about 200-250 copies of Stories in the Worst Way (#7). And SPD is my only distributor. So that’s what it takes, for what it’s worth.
What I’d be curious though is how the “poetry” list (which they do separate) compares to this.
