Sale of books depends on many factors. How well marketing is done,
quality of the book and many other factors. I know many books which
are nowhere near Theosophy in quality sell more. There are many books
of bad quality are selling well. Movies with sex, violence are sold
most. So sale is not always indicator of the quality of the book.
TS does not promote sale of Theosophical books in aggressive manner. I
know it from experience. You already know quality of management in TS.
