I'd make a graph if I could be arsed. Suffice it to say, selling books face to face in schools and at live events is how I make money from my creative output. It is good to have them available on Amazon, Lulu, Etsy et al, but it wouldn't make a lot of difference to the bank balance if they weren't there. The month ahead includes 3 days of live events and six days of classes, so game on to see who buys the most (if any, it's still possible that no-one will want any).
