Book sales update: fast and furious

I spoke with our Microsoft Press editor yesterday, and it turns out they’ve already sold over 6,000 copies of the Microsoft CRM book worldwide in just a few months! Granted, these numbers are small compared to other Microsoft Press books on topics such as Windows XP and Microsoft Office. However, the book sales numbers are double their initial projections, so we’re excited. In fact, he said that they have to do another print run of the book to keep with the higher than expected demand.

Of course, we attribute most of the sales success to a unbelievably great Microsoft CRM 3.0 product and its related community since both are growing so rapidly.

Who knows, if Microsoft CRM keeps growing at the same pace maybe we can eventually overtake Harry Potter for the number of books sold. What's that? Harry Potter has sold more than 300 million books? Oh well, maybe not. But then again, that Microsoft CRM Titan release is looking pretty good...
