The 50/50 split between sales of S&A v the second xi is interesting. My impression is that amongst enthusiasts, S&A might run it second or third behind WH or WDMTGTS but it does stand in some sort of metonymic relationship (or do I mean synecdochic?) to the whole canon.
I wonder if it's the film that drives the sales, or may be most are given as gifts and remain unread, or perhaps it's the effect of that S&A trademark!
