| * Sales volume figures up to 2004 are calculated according
to BookScan's GRM (General Retail Market), while those from 2005 are calculated according
to TCM (Total Consumer Market). Since this adds to GRM book sales from important non-high
street channels such as internet retailers, selected supermarkets and chains, the figures
are not strictly comparable. |
